Moving Picture Blocks

In exploring color palettes in various mediums, I've broken up images into main color blocks to show the differences in colour palettes for television, print advertisement, and paintings.

Television
uses colour palettes that correlate to the mood of the show. Animated shows use bright palettes with many colours. In contrast, dramas use less saturated colours.

Harvey Birdman: Attorney At Law

Grey's Anatomy

Print Advertisement
uses simple palettes with few colours to grab the eye. Monochrome palettes with a contrasting or complementary colour are popular.

Vespa

Maybelline

Paintings
use earthly and natural tones, as high saturation capable in light systems are not available in paint.

Botticelli's Birth of Venus
Dali's Persistence of Time
