Beforehand, most space scenes were drawn as the classic jet-black colour with white stars, and were rendered using poster paints. However, Leiji Matsumoto wanted to create an impression of "an outer space that was alive and overflowing with matter, light and energy", so he directed the use of dark blue "Sakura", a watercolor paint used at the time by schoolchildren. At first, the animators were opposed to using this colour, but after some experimentation they saw how well it looked and used it from then on.
