Winter Wipeout Zone, teal contestants/obstacles/water accented by orange fire

Clearly this photo was tampered with, because these colors occur nowhere together in real life.

holy shit, they just showed a clip on conan of the new adam sandler movie & it was maybe the most orange & teal-y thing

that i've ever seen

the specific scene i'm talking about isn't on youtube but this fucking trailer

I think the "teal & orange" thing is like when you learn the meaning of a new word, and then suddenly you hear and notice that word in print everywhere. Even though they were always there.

The place where it goes bad is when people start pretending like teal and orange is a totally unacceptable color combination, and is totally made up, and is taking over our lives.

aw man, well at least I know what next month's WDYLL theme should be.

xp For instance this:

http://i51.tinypic.com/514t9j.png

is a bit of a stretch.

(... for that bikini, amirite?!)

Seriously, Jordan, after the first three-ish photos you posted, none of them contain unusual amounts of teal OR orange.

Let Me In owns this thread

i don't agree -- i mean, somehow (a coincidence?) 80% of the extras in the background of these scenes happen to be wearing teal or orange?

http://i56.tinypic.com/16kaww5.png

i mean a totally classic random sample here of people wearing all different color shirts at the chuck-e-cheese

So the problem is with the wall color of a Chuck-E-Cheese in a movie? Of the shirt of a random background guy?

I assume this thread is meant as a complaint. If it's just meant as observation, then I gently and politely do not care.

classic couple of dudes, just hanging out in teal & orange shirts next to a teal vase w/ orange flowers

And that means...?

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

that it looks fucking retarded in succession

it's clearly an aesthetic choice & it's a terrible one

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.

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.

still, all of those jpgs pale in comparison to the scene they showed on conan -- ill try & get some shots w/ my phone but srsly y'all should turn it on in like 20 mins

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.

yes that is why

Yes, that is indeed why.

wait i knew i ripped that off from a blog somewhere. stealin' from here

I have debunked that blog post before, elsewhere on ILX, to the best of my ability, and I don't care enough to dig it up.

Point is, it's a silly thing to get up in arms about.

i thought there was some sort of deja vu to all of this. shouldn't skim threads while watching Machete.

"It's teal and orange and it makes me ANGRY!" Whoa whoa, easy there. The artform of film will survive this.

They're not even trying to hide it in Cedar Rapids. Everytime the commercial comes on, my brain starts doing a "teal & orange, teal & orange, teal & orange" mantra:

i think kenan's otm for the most part, it's like the '23' thing where once you hear about it you see it everywhere. brains love pattern recognition.

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

The Mandela Effect subreddit is on it

The John Wick spinoff movie Ballerina may be the most teal & orange thing I've partially seen (movie is terrible and quit after 20min)

there’s prob 40 good min clustered across the runtime tbf
