Comment on Teal and Orange - Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness

I'm gratified many of you liked this submission.

You can see this effect a lot on TV too. I think CSI began with a conscious act of manipulating the color palette via computer. Contrast that sort of color bias to rendering true colors via photography in a series such as Miami Vice (made well before there was this possibility).

Yeah I definitely noticed color and CSI. What's interesting to me is that they gave each spin-off their own color identity. The original had kind of a greenish tinge, CSI: Miami has more of a yellow/orange tint and CSI: NY has a blueish color. I think it used to be more pronounced--I don't notice it as much any more. Though perhaps I just got used to it.

The Matrix did the same thing--all the scenes that took place in the matrix were tinted green.
