It's pretty incredible seeing iconic characters be created because of more simple reasons, like needing a player 2 in Mario Bros and just changing the color

“They took the green color from the shell and slapped it over Mario’s red”

*applys green to the blue and not the red*

[Watch-O-Tron]

“Mario and a turtle are what made Luigi…” -Out of context

[chaostheultimayt]

“When a Mario and a Koopa love each other very much..”

It's because their colours are opposites on the colour wheel, too! Makes them stand out against eachother

[algernon]

I would’ve thought it would be because red and green are contrasting colors so Mario and Luigi could be distinguishable between each other.

[RavenclawNimbus]

Just realized that red and green koopa troopas are basically brothers, just like Mario and Luigi!

[VTuberSkye]

Another fun fact is that Luigi’s name is a pun on the Japanese word “Ruiji” which means “Similar”, because he’s similar to Mario design-wise.

I thought Mario and Luigi are both red and green to symbolize the Italy flag.

red- Mario
white- their gloves
green- Luigi

guess I thought wrong or that's a second reason 🤔

Edit: Wow! I didn't know this comment would get 6K likes and this many comments 😀

Red and green are also opposite on the color wheel…they likely picked green so that they’d contrast each other

[raider]

So Mario is Luigi’s brother but also his dad, along with a turtle…

[McToad]

When a Mommy Mario and a daddy turtle love each other so much a few months later a Luigi is born!

Luigi wears green because it's his favorite color, he said it himself

[xlynnyx]

“Do you ever wonder why Luigi wears green?”
“No.”

[Altaline]

I thought it was because they're complimentary colors. Red is the opposite of green.
Mario is short, more confident, the hero.
While Luigi is taller, shy, and the side kick.

[saifkhan]

when a Mario and a turtle loves each other very much, then comes luigi

[squidyshot]

It also fits because Nintendo wants them to be opposite, and green and red are opposite on the color wheel.

[UphillBridge]

Just let Luigi wear his green in peace bro 😭

[purplehoodie]

Fun fact: this is a coincidence that actually turned out to work pretty well, because on the color wheel green is the opposite to red, therefore contrasting it nicely!
