Matrix 4: Why The Analyst & Agent Smith Always Wear Blue
The Analyst and Agent Smith almost always wear shades of blue in The Matrix Resurrections, but why is this the case? First released domestically on December 22nd, 2021, The Matrix Resurrections transports audiences back to a much-changed simulation inhabited by both new and returning machine constructs and programs. One such program is The Analyst (Neil Patrick Harris), the creator of the current iteration of the Matrix and the chief architect of Neo (Keanu Reeves) and Trinity's (Carrie-Anne Moss) survival, while Agent Smith (Jonathan Groff) returns to the Matrix a much-changed version of his former self.
One of the biggest deviations from the rest of the franchise is The Matrix Resurrections' decision to move away from a predominantly green color palette.

This cleaner, more vivid color palette usage extends to Resurrections' core characters, with allies such as Bugs (Jessica Henwick) and the young Morpheus program (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) adorned in pops of bright red and orange, while foes such as The Analyst are draped in opulent blues.
