A POX ON THE MIAMI DOLPHINS: With rare exceptions, I have never given much thought to color grading in movies, and I know next to nothing about it. So it must take a great blog post to make me care so much about it, and in particular the insidious ubiquity of a teal-and-orange color palette.

That is fascinating. Never would have guessed. I always associate teal & orange with NBC in the 1990s, possibly because it was the color of the Newsradio set.
ReplyDeleteMakes sense, though -- an iceberg is blue, and I imagine Sepinwall, being from Jersey, uses a lot of bronzer.
ReplyDeleteI never thought about it but I'm now watching a commercial of a house tinged peach set against a blue sky. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteSo rare that I think about this. I remember being amazed in "Traffic" how they used color palettes to keep the stories separated, and then of course there are oversaturated prints like "What Dreams May Come" and some of "Inglourious Basterds."
