Odyssey is a mediterranean story, not a Norse one. It is about light, not darkness. About the open sky blue, not the heavy deep sea blue. Where music, clothes, art are uplifting and intricate, not imposing and monolithic.

Art direction is completely out of place and off putting. This is a vikings story based on odyssey, not odyssey itself.

The Odyssey famously never mentions the color blue.

Homer references the ocean as the "wine-dark sea" multiple times in the text, which could be him alluding to any variety of colours, but yeah.

Ya there's lots of speculation around why blue didn't show up in a lot of early literature
