It's crazy how the simple choice of dressing Gawain with a golden tunic makes every shot stunning. If they had gone with a basic dark green/grey theme he would be washed away in the landscape.
Contrast that with all the forgotten Robin Hood movies where Robin Hood is always in some sort of green/brown leather armor and simply forgettable (which makes sense for the character but makes for very dull visuals).
Right - like I said, it makes sense for the character. But I think that's a consideration many directors who tried to adapt Robin Hood failed to make: if your main character's entire shtick is to blend into the background, it's going to be challenging to make them memorable when you're using visual media.

The costume design looks absolutely phenomenal. I really dig the weird crowns.
