The Handmaid’s Tale: Secret Meaning Of Colors Worn By Gilead Women

In Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, every outfit isn’t just about style it’s about power, suppression, and survival. Each piece of clothing in Gilead’s chilling world is deliberately selected to reflect control, identity, and resistance. But have you ever really paused to ask what the colors worn by women in Gilead actually say about their lives? From the fiery red cloaks of the Handmaids to the rigid teal of the Wives, and even the faded gray of the Unwomen, every hue tells a story of control, conformity, and coded rebellion.

In this video, we’ll take you deep inside the symbolic language of color in Gilead, where clothing isn’t just worn it’s weaponized. We go far beyond surface-level analysis to explore the intersection of color psychology, costume design, religious extremism, gender politics, and dystopian storytelling. Inspired by Margaret Atwood’s 1985 literary classic and elevated in the Emmy-winning television series, this isn’t just about outfits. It’s about understanding how visual design becomes a tool of ideological enforcement.

You’ll discover why crimson doesn’t only signify fertility, but also reflects pain, ownership, and a brewing rebellion in silence. The serene teal worn by the Wives may suggest calm authority on the surface, but it’s a chilling mask for their internalized sorrow, disillusionment, and lack of agency. The Aunts, cloaked in a harsh brown, symbolize their complex role as both enforcers and victims of a deeply patriarchal regime guardians of doctrine, yet prisoners themselves.

And it doesn't stop there. We dive into the pale pinks of the Daughters, subtly foreshadowing their indoctrination into future roles. The greenish-gray worn by the Marthas represents servitude masked as domestic grace, and the Unwomen in their ghostly, dust-covered grays symbolize society’s ultimate form of erasure stripping women of even symbolic value.
