Steven Spielberg had a surprising request for the Jaws production designer Joe Alves, wanting him to limit the use of the color red.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Steven Spielberg recounts the surprising request he had of the production designed for Jaws. Originally released in 1975, Jaws remains one Spielberg's most popular films, and one of the most iconic suspense films of all time. Jaws continues to get theatrical play at theaters who play classics, and even received an IMAX re-release in 2022.

"Yes, for Jaws, I didn’t want red to be dominant on any of the sets. I told Joe [Alves], 'Please . . . when you’re designing the picture and finding your colors, don’t use too much red, allowing for the blood.' And in general, we pretty much stuck to that. The Kintner boy had a red bathing suit, and we did have red wine in the scene with Hooper and Brody at the dinner table, but there was a bit of symbolism and foreshadowing in that.
