Neon dreams: LA by night

Not T&O but related

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.

Looking ahead to the return of teal & orange.gov.uk later this year

this new pitbull boost mobile commercial has to be one of the worst offenders in history

I was hoping someone would do that, abanana.

These guys are the stars of the new David Attenborough nature doc:

I just saw them last night, too, for the first time ever!

One also made an appearance in His Dark Materials on BBC1 yesterday.

Yeah, BBC going hard on the teal & orange monkeys.

2nd half of Terminator Dark Fate is the most generic T&O.xls in some time. Shame, because the first half is pretty good looking.

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

I like the color palette on The Forever Purge, how would you guys describe it

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.

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.

are you thinking of andor?

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
