I will never forget the blue lighting that was used during the song "As Long As You're Mine" when I saw the show Wicked. I really think the lighting in this scene is very interesting because blue is not usually a color that is associated with love, romance, and passion, which are the essence of the scene and song. However, I think that with the fog and blue color, intimacy is developed and depicted. In addition, the lighting is also perfect for the scene because their romance is also unpredicted and surprising, just like the color. I also like how the fog acts as a filter to change the shape of the light making the atmosphere unclear and murky, just like the characters' futures.

The blue light here is definitely an interesting choice, and not the first thing you would think of using. But I think it works well for the points you brought up, and it also does a good job of setting the scene of nighttime in the woods. It seems very secretive and mysterious, which goes along with the circumstances. The blue scheme is also relaxing and seems to establish a trustful atmosphere, and works as a nice contrast to the red lantern light.
