The Big Picture Black and white images are the original language of film. For decades, as filmmaking was a developing art form, the only option was black and white film stock. When color came around, films were still made in black and white for years before it fell out of practice in the 1960s.

In 2017, two years after the film's initial release, the Black and Chrome edition was announced and debuted in features and on home video. Though this version was made without the involvement of cinematographer John Seale, he gave it his blessing, feeling that removing the color brought an intensity to other craft elements of the film and the actors' performances.

The color palette is a huge contributing factor to the film. Miller uses gorgeous oranges and blues to capture the desert at both night and day, and the detail from the rust-covered cars to the fire of the flamethrower guitar only benefits from the contrast against the backgrounds.
