J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:08 (thirteen years ago) link

I don't think the issue is as much with costumes and set decorations as it is with the post-production colour correction.

I understand, that's ostensibly the trouble brewing here. The reason that particular palette is used so often is because the flesh tones remain reasonably believable, but the blues opposite those tones stand out in high contrast. It's all about making the blacks blacker, I think. It's a fashion, it will fade, and movies from this time period will be recognizable for that particular look.

I am Woolen Man. The scarf and I are one. (kenan), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:13 (thirteen years ago) link

It's not a bad color combination, I don't think. I have much more of a problem with the obsession with making the blacks as black as the cover of "Smell the Glove," and that's not just a movie problem. Every "glossy" computer monitor nowadays has it, as well.

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:16 (thirteen years ago) link

I think it's that teal and orange are opposites on the colour wheel (or something like that). they make each other 'pop', as it were. that's why they do it. I blame Ridley Scott.

There are degrees of this, too. It seems like with romantic comedies that they like to make sure that there is a significant amount of orange and teal in a frame, and they just intensify the pre-existing tones. With thrillers, they drag all shadows and neutrals into cyan/teal (even if they weren't teal to begin with), and then drag highlights to orange. You can see this really clearly on the trailer for that new Liam Neeson movie with January Jones (can't remember the title). They didn't play quite as much with the orange, but all of the shadows and medium tones are teal in many of the scenes, even when it basically defies reason for there to be that much teal in any kind of realistic lighting in a setting where nothing in it is actually teal to begin with.

Melissa W, Thursday, 17 February 2011 06:21 (thirteen years ago) link

one thing that mitigates this problem is that almost all of the movies that are teal and orange fests are pretty terrible anyway.

ok, so it's not as simple as saturation but...

1) this is for the box art of a dvd, so who cares if it's been adjusted in some way.

2) where they needed to extend beyond the crop by adding sky they made it the colour of clear sky rather than an overcast day. seems like a pretty legitimate choice for a dvd box.

3) the sky is blue, not teal.

4) and the only orange is less orange than in the original. they've added some yellow.

this is an example of blue & yellow & saturation.xls. this is what i'm talking about confirmation bias.

forest zomby (Vasco da Gama), Thursday, 17 February 2011 22:15 (thirteen years ago) link

there is a trend in action movies (e.g. the first post). it will be gone in a year or two.

most of this stuff does not belong to it, either because it literally isn't t&o, or it's a guy pointing a camera at white people/the ground/fire and water/the sky/night, and deepening the grade. if that's part of a trend then the trend began with colour photography.

DSMOS has arrived (kenan), Monday, 11 April 2011 17:05 (thirteen years ago) link

Ok, I can't help but offer some commentary.

Not only is most indoor lighting in a red-orange-yellow kind of range by its very nature, but most natural lighting looks blue by comparison. The combination of these two complimentary colors is not an accident, but neither is it some new hip trend that we can all pile on top of and focus hate on. It's warm light and cool light.

This ties in to how I can't stand people saying, "I would use fluorescent bulbs, but I hate that cold, blue light." Which is... more like daylight? Is that the problem? So what you're actually demanding is specifically UNnatural light, and trying to pass the argument off as if what you're arguing for is natural light that fluorescent bulbs exist in violation of.

DSMOS has arrived (kenan), Monday, 11 April 2011 17:36 (thirteen years ago) link

Also, unless you're on hallucinogens or you're taking pictures with your camera set to the wrong white balance, your eyes adjust for the dominant light in the room in about 15 seconds. Bitching about "cold" light is like bitching about how much better one soda is than another. Yeah, there's a difference, but who cares? Not even you, after about 15 minutes.

I understand and will completely concede the point that digital post-processing has recently leaned, in certain movies, and perhaps even as a certain trend, toward a blue/orange, high-contrast color palette. But it's not a color combination that occurs nowhere in nature, nor is it new, nor is it extreme, nor is it all that awfully prevalent. I'm seeing a lot more straight-up cold-ass blue in movies lately, with any red washed almost totally out of them, even when it's not part of the visual language of the film. It's just David Fincher fans who grew up to direct movies, and didn't understand that Fight Club was about fascism, and fell asleep in class during Cries and Whispers.

Had a weird dream last night where i was on the set of a film being directed by James Cameron, i got invited into his trailer and i said "there's a thread on the internet about teal & orange, what do you think about all films looking like this?" He had some massive rant about how much work goes into the colouring of a film, got really angry at everyone. Then i woke up.

hmm. I think one positive to this look, is that despite some sense that there is no clear zeigeist/style to this era (which I'm not actually totally convinced of), one thing that will really end up dating it will be this teal and orange look. it'll probably, in hindsight, give the era its own ambience (and perhaps we might even start being able to date certain phases by which color filters are being used - late 90s/early 00s being more grey and green)

i think drive's an instructive example though because, i mean, it's a very nicely shot film. it looks really good! the lighting is great, composition, all that jazz. it has a limited color palette but it's not ugly. it actually uses color pretty intelligently, to say something about the characters. i mean i get that everyone has little things that irrationally bug them, i have my own trends that im sick of, but you still gotta look at the big picture imo

Constant Gardner was very t&o. After I noticed it, the deliberate changes really stood out. Like they obviously painted walls and dressed the sets with t&o props to make it all conform. Which actually looked a lot better than some of these more recent movies that are just aggressively graded that way. But it's still dumb as hell.

This is far more teal than it is orange. I think I prefer it when it's the other way around, if we have to have it at all.

RMDE at the people who think this is somehow normal, natural, or excusable.

warm (white person) flesh has an orangey tone, the opposing color on the wheel from there is teal. it makes faces pop out of the background.

Yes it's a contrast in color temperature. The problem is that of course it's not the only possible contrast in color temperature to use. And more importantly, a contrast in color temperature is not always desirable! Nor is it the only means of visual contrast.

Contrast in luminosity is far more important. There can also be contrast between different hues of a similar color temperature. And there are of course visual contrasts in size and texture, moving objects vs. static objects, and things that are in or out of focus. Out of all of the ways to get contrast and direct the viewer's attention within a moving picture, a contrast in color temperature is by far the least important, and least interesting.

Imagine a scene that takes place in the desert. It's all shades of dusty brown and beige, there's a rusted old mining equipment in the tumbleweeds, and the sky has brownish smoggy golden hour glow. Then in the midst of that there's a brand new shiny red car that stands out. Everything in the scene could be very close together in hue and yet there could still be an extreme contrast to the image. And the reddish hues would help reinforce a feeling of oppressive heat. But a contemporary production designer would probably use a teal car instead. The contrast would be greater but would that be necessary? How would that actually improve the scene?

I don't get the fascination with the LOTR movies (the new versions look harmless to me) but this video has some good information on how older movies get new colors on modern releases.

bad color grading has gone beyond t&o. now we've got stuff like ozark, which puts a single color filter over everything.

seriously, use more colors, you digital videos.

Ironically even the TinyPic logos up the thread are teal and orange. The internet decays into teal and orange. Scrape away the face, smash open the skull, scoop out the brain and what remains is teal and orange.

Started watching a few minutes of Worth last night which is excessively Teal & Orange. At first I wondered if this was a clever nod to the past, but then thought it wasn’t a thing until the late 00s - so perhaps just lazy filmaking?

A spot of teal and orange talk on this dissection of the colours of Skyfall and Spectre (which is slightly undermined by them being as forgettable as each other in my mind)

London and MI6 in particular are the only locations defined by what we might call a teal-and-orange palette; a sort of idling-state palette for Bond's home, but one where the desaturation implies a nice sort of decrepitude and rot. pic.twitter.com/IlvmhvhpcW

This thread is making me nostalgic: teal, orange and gray were the colors in shops in 1999 when I was fifteen and buying my first set of Nice Grown-Up Clothes for a school exchange. I had a beautiful soft gray sweater from the Gap with bands of dark gray, dusty teal, and dusty orange on the sleeves. It was my favorite sweater for years until it tragically shrank in the wash.

Lily Dale, Thursday, 11 November 2021 22:33 (two years ago) link

that thread on Skyfall/Spectre is really good, disagree that they're both forgettable.

I don't like Bond movies much at all but I thought Skyfall was one of the best I'd seen whereas Spectre was largely unmemorable - that thread articulates at least partly why that was the case.

Sludge: the new teal & orange. I don't watch enough TV (he lied) to spot the trend but I noticed how desaturated The Tourist was before I saw this article.

not specifically about colour palette, but inspired by this tweet:

I believe CGI is getting worse even as the tech advances. I don't know if it's laziness or cost cutting but so many shots look so much worse now than in the nineties. Look at these shots from DEATH ON THE NILE. It looks like it was shot at a local tv station's weather map set. pic.twitter.com/eDt10FieyM

What is this thing where movies are (intentionally?) made to look like video game cut scenes? Is this just really cheap green-screening or is it that younger people who grew up watching video game cut-scenes actually like this look? (it's probably both I guess)

It occurred to me how long it's been since I had occasion to complain about teal and orange. Everything is only getting grey-er. I'm indulging a childlike, total layman's impression that there was like one guy responsible for the teal & orange boom who was promoted or moved on, and now there's a guy who likes everything murky and "realistic" in his place.

No, I'm thinking of every movie and show so desaturated you can't tell what's going on. My wife just tried watching House of the Dragon in the daytime and it was a hopeless cause.

Teal & orange's second coming

Now that the DALL-E has been successfully midjourneyfied, it is becoming apparent that instead of simulating all possible ›styles‹, AI is fostering the emergence of a distinct visual style, born out of popular aesthetic preferences dominating platforms like DeviantArt

PPS: Thanks to @saintsoftness just learned that there already is a name for this color scheme, »Teal and Orange«, a popular look in color grading and achieved by »push[ing] blues or teals into the shadows and oranges or yellows into the highlights« https://t.co/GHgJ1SIcgb

Just saying: there exists a YouTube channel based around a conspiracy theory about how the Teal & Orange colour grading trend is actually due to a Mandela Effect-type mysterious phenomenon that turned all the world's media teal. pic.twitter.com/Dq1cemmgBz
