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.

http://i51.tinypic.com/29lxml5.png

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.

I watched "Hot Tub Time Machine" last night, and yeah, ok, the teal-and-orange-ness of it was really extreme. Also, I didn't laugh that much and found it vaguely depressing, which is a much bigger problem than the color scheme.

Dude, teal and orange is all over that fucking picture. You can argue this is whining or whatever, but don't minimize the teal and orange MANIA to which we are all slaves.

Except this "word" is a painfully overused one that was invented recently, and is going to date every fucking movie it touches.

ok maybe that metaphor got mixed along the way

and is going to date every fucking movie it touches.

I said that myself upthread. Can't deny that at all.

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.

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

Has anyone jokingly teal & orangized old classics? I'm asking before looking.

that's the joke.

this thread is just full of high saturation pictures of things commonly found in films: white people, fire, the ground & water, sky and night.

etc. etc.

that dances with wolves thing is just the original image with saturation boosted.

you mean pictures are made more t&o by increasing the amount of t&o in the pictures? mind blown

well, no, saturation != hue.

colour film of dramatic events and human activity have always been mostly teal and orange, on average.

thread proves nothing except that confirmation bias works.

that dances with wolves thing is just the original image with saturation boosted.

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.

There is also suddenly a wolf.

a legitimate choice

and yet, no dancing.

they're doing the bump

The grass has grown a little around his feet in 20 years.

There is some T&A though, amitire?

Are people doubting that the teal and orange craze even exists? Or just saying some of this stuff does not belong to the it?

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.

holy fuck, date night looks awful. dial it down, for god's sake

I'm going to post this again, and offer no commentary.

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

It's cheap, I know, but even if you disagree with me, you can't disagree with HER.

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.

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 have more examples. These are not color-corrected in any way. They are simply teal and orange.

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/9963/screenshot20110411at433.png

um

I am now nit-free, and you have done me a great service.

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.

I read this as "tea and oranges" and thought it was going to be a Leonard Cohen thing. I hate the overdone warm/cool thing though. The new Doctor Who way overdid it. As did a lot of the early Harry Potter movie posters.

in my mind it is one of the defining clichés of the current decade in the way that lemon poppyseed muffins, and brushed-steel/glass construction sci-fi models were clichés in the last one. i'm glad we're over the whole chipotle thing, too.

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.

f u if you don't like that

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)

that is a great poster

No mention itt for Hugo yet? Watching this on Blu-Ray and for the first ten minutes I was worried my color settings got all jacked up and permanently set to "t&o".

no its been posted

Oh, hm, I didn't see any posters and control-f didn't give me anything. Must be one of those broken images?

It was fairly overpowering, even my missus who just shrugs when I go on about it commented on it. What I don't get is how someone like Scorsese falls for it. I can understand some young directors and DPs thinking this is a good look but someone with his experience and knowledge of cinema shouldn't fall for it. The scenes with the the flower seller could have been some gorgeous technicolor dream but instead were just this mush of t&o.

it was fairly obviously done to evoke two-strip technicolor of the period, which could range in color depending on how the film was exposed but was basically teal & brownish orange:

yeah that drove a guy i know insane. the red stop light being orange basically ruined the movie for him

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

it's funny i don't recall any of those shots looking like that. shit is ~subliminal~

i almost never notice it while im watching a movie - it really stands out in screenshots

Ya totes true

yep. also drive was knobrot.

also - so much orange and teal in Hugo - completely unforgivable for that kind of film. Maybe I wouldn't have found it so disappointing had it not had that in it.

unforgivable, eh

spellcheck told me that was the correct spelling... unforgivable unforgiveable hmmm... it underlines the latter.

i really honestly and truly don't mind the t&o phenom, i even kinda like it.

i already posted this itt but its so

tbf isn't that a film that switches between to colour schemes to make a plot point?

i dunno, that screencaps from the trailer

he spends half the film high on brain pills that make the world look funny

oh no that's from his new movie about plagiarism or whatever not the one about Robert deniro

ohh right

spellcheck told me that was the correct spelling... unforgivable unforgiveable hmmm... it underlines the latter.

i just wasnt certain if you'd seen my post about hugo upthread

got around to seeing Just Go With It, and as someone previously said itt, it's perhaps the all-time T&O champ.

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.

real qn: are trailers more blown out on the t&o tip than the features themselves?

Nolan is more of a grey&grey guy

has anyone done a funny orange & teal recoloring of a scene or stills from some classic movie from the '70s or something like that? would love to see something like that

that would be lolly.

I went through some 70s screencaps and all of a sudden it was everywhere back then too.

I mean, this isn't a perfect example of what's been mentioned here, but I didn't use it because it was too close to bother.

AHHH!!

;)

Almost literally every shot in Silent Witness (and then the news!) tonight was built around teal and orange, in SW in a very obviously filtered / digitally altered way. Why is it so prevalent?

i guess the explanations were on another movie thread

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.

Least it's not green and lavender, I guess.

i think production design should count here

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

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?

Took my kids to see The Boxtrolls yesterday and thought of this thread.

http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/i/2014/08/15/boxtrolls-05_612x380.jpg

xp saw this trailer again and yep there's literally no color in it other than teal and orange

teal and orange is the new black and white

boxtrolls does look like that but it's still really good.

the boxtrolls guys do an amazing job of releasing spectacular films with trailers and ads that make the film look terrible

^^^ totally. It was miles better than the ad led me to believe.

boxtrolls had an unmemorable and kind of rote narrative but it was beautiful to behold. but yeah very teal/orange.

the worst is when they take older films and render them teal/orange for blu-ray. ridley scott did this with the alien blu-ray, it's most unfortunate. actually the criterion blu-ray of thief is quite guilty of this as well.

Aliens was the one that got T&O'ed up.

i thought it was done to alien as well.

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.

I mean, Drax is blue/grey, so to make him orange tooo.. wow.

This set was used for the B&W cover of Billy Joel's The Stranger album in 1977.

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.

Black and white was at least honest in its limitations

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 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
