Teal and Orange – Hollywood, Please Stop the Madness (2010)

The "Cyan Filter" as I've been calling it for years.

It's so clumsily applied in a lot of TV programmes* that I've even seen people with cyan teeth and cyan whites of their eyes.

I disagree with the author's theory that its use is simply down to opposite colours on the colour wheel adding "pop" though. My feeling has always been that it's trying [and failing miserably] to evoke a "retro film stock" feel. It seems to be used extensively on anything that's trying to look 'period', whether the period in question is Victorian, 1950s, 1970s... or any other era.

*[I'm assuming because of lower budgets and quicker turnaround times than films]
