Capes of Red and Green

Because red and green are opposites on the colour wheel, the dualism of Thor and Loki is immediately identifiable by their iconic capes.



The Odinson brothers are eternal forces of difference, whether they are engaged in conflict . . .



. . . or in less combative emotions.



And even, once in a while, when they are cooperating with each other.

The very hang and flow of their capes reflect the diametrical opposition of Thor's extroversion and Loki's introversion.
