I follow a page on instagram called @colorpalette.cinema that posts movie scenes with the colour palette under the image. It is very interesting to see how these palettes change depending on the genre and director – but also how the same movie can incorporate such a wide variety of different colours whilst still keeping a consistent aesthetic and balanced cinematography.
The two screencaps above are from director Sofia Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette”, both scenes have a lot of light and use warm colours like beige, pink, brown and yellow-toned greys.
These three screencaps are from”The Place Beyond the Pines”. In the first two scenes, there’s the use of strong light and colour, contrasting with the dark backgrounds. You can tell that these scenes are moments apart from the similarities of the colour, the teal and red. The last scene transmits a different emotion through the use of cold tones.
