Color Scheme!

 Hello!!! Today I'll be mainly talking about color scheme! Trust me it's more interesting than it seems. Whether you're designing a movie poster, decorating your room, making a social media post or choosing your outfit, the colors are a huge deal. They do way more than just make things look pretty. Colors can make us feel excited, calm, or even a tad bit creeped out. Colors aren't just for decoration, they help set the mood, set the scene, and even show you what's happening inside the characters head.


Colors can make people feel certain things, even before the character talks, for example a scene with cool colors like blue, and green usually make the viewer feel calm and peaceful. On the other hand, warm colors like red, orange, and yellow usually give a positive and joyful vibe. 





Sometimes, colors can me used to show tension, or even conflict. Imagine a character standing in a room thats mostly dark, with only a few bright lights shining on them. The background might have lost of dark blues, grays or blacks, while the character could be wearing a bright red jacket. The contrast between those two sets of colors shows theres something important or dramatic happening. If you actually think about sports movies, you might notice that the team with the brightest uniforms often represents the energy and hope of the story, while the other team wearing the darker colors tend to struggle more than the opposing team.

Colors in movies or films in general do more than just look nice and match, they help tell the story. A characters journey is mostly reflected in the colors around them. At the start they might be dull and shy (black, gray, or blue) show doubt or struggle. But as they grow they start to gain more confidence and their colors might change to yellow, red, or any bright color. The setting also plays a big role in storytelling. Even small details like the color of a characters clothing or the sky, can hint at emotions or whats coming next. In the end color is a powerful tool that shaped how we feel about a certain scene, they make the story feel real. So next time you watch a movie make sure you pay attention to the colors you might notice they're telling more than you realize.
