The book is based on a post-apocalyptic setting. Having a variety of greens adds to the feeling that radiation still lingers in the world. Having the text be black is not for printing purposes but to establish the grimness of the situation. The rusted colors on the car and stone add how the radiation and damages from the war impacted these objects that we see every day. While there is some light on the clouds, mostly everything uses a dark color scheme to, again, represent the situation and that this book is not a happy and joyful book but rather a serious and grave situation.
