Book of Life or the secret behind Joaquin’s color palette
Recently me and my friend @skimpilydressedwithanaxe were talking about how each reincarnation of Maria and Manolo have the same color present in their designs,for example Maria has red clothes in each of her life:
While Manolo has black inclusions either in clothes or hair:
But then we noticed how we can’t say the same about Joaquin:
Out of all Mondragons reincarnations,his outfit stands out like a sore thumb,considering that he doesn’t wear anything dark/purple.
Knowing how important the color palette is in Jorgverse (term made by @phoenixlionme ,not me) we decided to analyze and come with different conclusions as to why Joaquin looks so different from Acat or Zoe.
1.The artists simply forgot
This one is self explanatory:the film crew were too busy with the plot then easter eggs.Some could’ve been unaware of the “reincarnation law” going on.
2.The change was put there to visually indicate the dichotomy with Manolo
During many instances in film Manolo is shown as the black sheep in his family,which is reinforced by the fact that his matador clothes are mostly dark.Meanwhile Mondragon’s bright uniform is another indicator of his status as a beloved hero of San Angel.Knowing the proximity of purple to black, the designers decided to change Joaquim's key color to something lighter.
3.Joaquin will embrace the purple in (hopefully upcoming???) sequel
It was said in one of Jorge Gutierrez tweets(or in Wiki if you’re too lazy to search for it)that the Book of Life 2 will revolve around Joaquin looking for his father in the Land of Unknown.That can also be interpreted as Joaquin digging up his past and rethinking his actions,which may lead to the palette change.
4.A symbol of breaking the cycle
The fans of Jorgverse may have noticed how almost all reincarnations of Joaquin are given the role of a “jealous third weel” ,trying to ruin or get between two lovebirds in order to have their crush all to themselves.But at the end of the movie,Joaquin comes off this path,deciding that the well being of his friends is more important that his ambition.So the blue in his outfit was given as the hint that he would feel different about Maria and Manolo’s union than his past lives,therefore the color change.

Tatiana Suarez (USA) vs Maria Gurova (RUS) - 2010 World Championships Bronze Medal Match
Tatiana Suarez (9-0) competing for her 2nd bronze medal at the world championships back in 2010. Sadly thyroid cancer cut her wrestling career short and she never got a shot at the Olympics.
Suarez, who seems to have the worst luck, almost lost her MMA career. A serious neck injury she suffered during her fight with Nina Nunes kept her out of competition for 4 years. But she returned earlier this year to take a submission win over Montana De La Rosa at flyweight. Now she is returning to women's strawweight in an attempt to make a run at the title. Crazy to think she's only 9-0 and has wins over two UFC champions (Carla Esparza & Alexa Grasso).
Suarez will return to women's 115 to face off against former champion Jessica Andrade (24-11) this Saturday (August 5) at UFC Fight Night: Sandhagen vs. Font.
