Co-executive producer Christy Karacas's unique art style also proved laborious for them in that it provided "very clean polished lines"[3] over more organic drawings.

The show's color scheme has been described by Karacas as a major part of the visuals; inspirations included Paul Klee and Katsuhiro Otomo, as well as the concept of fluorescence.

The team wanted to create "a bold, fresh look"[3] that reflected the universe, and so they chose to be minimal with their palette to attract attention to the linework.
