They belong to three tales: Scheherezade and Shahryar, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and The seven voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.The style is directed towards a young adult audience.

He wears golden and green, the complimentary color to her red.Ali Baba and her wife wear simpler clothes, in matching red and white. Their story features golden when it's related to the Forty Thieves' treasure.And Sinbad wears blue, referencing his adventures at sea.
