Star Wars: The reason behind Darth Maul's red skin

Darth Maul's red skin, a deliberate design choice for his villainous appearance, distinguishes him from his yellow-skinned brothers, Savage Opress and Feral. While no definitive in-universe reason exists, Maul's red skin could be genetic, as Zabrak males exhibit varied skin tones. This distinct color also served a narrative purpose, emphasizing his connection to the dark side. The differing skin colors were likely a creative decision by The Clone Wars team to ensure Maul remained visually distinct from his siblings for audience clarity.
