In this lesson, we're going to be talking
about the color palette

of our shots
in addition to color contrast.

Color palette is all about
what colors are actually available,

what colors do we see,
and what colors are kind of muted.

So when we talk about color palette,
just like when you decide to paint

something, you're going to have a certain
amount of colors that you'd probably use.

When we're talking
about stylizing an image.

A lot of the time
it looks really nice to kind of limit

the colors that are available
for the viewer to see.

For instance, in this shot,
we have a lot of this kind of maroon.

We have some orange.

We have some yellow
kind of the earth tones here.

But you don't see a whole lot of bright
blues or bright greens.

We have a little bit of kind of muted
blue here in his hat,

but for the most part, it's kind of warmer
colors and a little bit of blue.

Same for this shot.

There's a lot of red isn't much green.

There's a little bit of kind of this blue,
but these look nice and subtly stylized

and you almost wouldn't really notice
this color palette

unless you were really looking for it.

Same for this shot.

We're letting a lot of these

kind of green tones in,
but the skin tone isn't very saturated.

It's almost a little bit more white.

We have a lot of gray,

but we don't have a lot of bright
yellows or reds or anything like that.

This one, we have quite a bit of green
and teal and yellow,

but there's not a whole lot of blues,
not really any purples.

And a lot of the time
these kind of things are specifically

chosen to give the film
a certain esthetic quality.

There are reasons that you would do that,

much like we talked about
with color affecting emotions.

But this also just kind of makes
our images look a little bit more rich.

And there's also kind of the aspect
of what we think of a filmic image,

a image that comes
from kind of the cinematic

era of filmmaking where it was actually
captured and printed on film.

Those
kind of film stocks have certain qualities

where the highlights
kind of have this sort of glowing feel

and they're desaturated and the darker
parts are a little bit teal,

and it only let certain colors through.

You kind of get these
sort of orangish colors sometimes.

And when we look at an image like that,
we kind of think, Oh yeah, that's

what movies look like.

That's what a Hollywood movie
really kind of looks like.

And again, it's almost kind of hard
to put your finger on

unless you're really looking for it.

But it's another one of those smaller
things

that kind of gives
you more of this sort of cinematic image.

And a lot of movies
will have a very specific color

palette that they are designed for.

Here's three color palettes
for some of my favorite movies.

You can say whatever you want,
but fantastic.

Mr. Fox is a genius movie
and it has a certain color palette.

These pieces of
art are from movie palette.

You can search a huge

library of movies and you get this art
that kind of looks like a barcode,

but it is the average color
of every single shot in the movie.

Really, really cool.

So this is Twilight,
which, you know, as you can see,

has kind of this stylish green
feeling matrix.

The greenest movie ever made
is no surprise.

Very green.

The Dark Knight, you see almost no green,
which I think is pretty interesting.

And so you have a lot of style
that you can put into your project

by just adjusting the color palette.
