Green's original voice actor, Cy Grant, believed that "Captain Scarlet" had positive multicultural value and regarded it as spiritually allegorical. On black-and-white dualism, he argued that "the 'darkness' of the Mysterons is most easily seen as the psychological rift — the struggle of 'good' and 'evil' — of the Western world as personified by Colonel White and his team. Dark and light are but aspects of each other. Incidentally, green is the colour of nature that can heal that rift." He also discussed the idea of Lieutenant Green being an African trickster hero.
