Now, let's look at what we know about Maul's color and black marks. Darth Maul Is Unique Among His Kind When it comes to the most popular and iconic characters of Star Wars, there aren't a lot of evil-doers that are on par with Darth Maul's own popularity. Maul, known simply as the Shadow during the Imperial Era, was a Force-sensitive Dathomirian Zabrak male who established himself as a crime lord during the reign of the Galactic Empire.
He was known as Darth Maul as the apprentice of Darth Sidious. Having trained in the ways of the Force, Darth Maul was a formidable warrior strong with the dark side and possessed deadly skills in lightsaber. Darth Maul, also known simply as Maul, is a character in the Star Wars franchise created by George Lucas.
He first appeared in the prequel film Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999). By coloring Darth Maul red, George Lucas wanted to visually portray his alignment with the evil Sith before he was even seen in action. It was a signaling of his Dark Side status.
The striking crimson color against Darth Maul's black tattoos further amplified the symbolism of his connection to the destructive Dark Side of the Force. In the CANON game Star Wars Battlefront II (DICE one not the outdated one from 2005) there is a character that looks like Darth Maul exactly but he is an olive colour with black stripes. Case closed.
The iconic red color of Darth Maul's skin is a result of Sith alchemy, a branch of Dark Side manipulation which allows the wielder to physically alter and modify the appearance of living beings. Prior to being transformed by the Dark Side, Darth Maul was a member of the Zabrak species, characterized by their skin patterns and distinctive horns. Physical Description: Species: Zabrak Gender: Male Height: 5'-9" Eye Color: Yellow and Red Skin Color: Red and Black Biography: The origins of Darth Maul are mostly unknown, but it is known that he comes from Dathomir.
He trained as a Sith Lord under Darth Sidious and longed for the destruction of the Jedi. His master kept him in hiding for much of his life until he eventually unleashed. We see no other Red Zabraks, specifically the Nightbrothers on Dathomir, throughout the Clone Wars and Star Wars.
Why is Darth Maul red when other Zabraks are mostly yellow/tan? Makeup artist Paul Engelen applied the red and black visage of Darth Maul. The red makeup was a water-base "flame" red Aquacolor applied with a sponge (which could be easily reapplied for touch-ups on set). The black was Reel tattoo color painted on with the aid of a template made from initial makeup tests.
