I think the "teal & orange" thing is like when you learn the meaning of a new word, and then suddenly you hear and notice that word in print everywhere. Even though they were always there.

The place where it goes bad is when people start pretending like teal and orange is a totally unacceptable color combination, and is totally made up, and is taking over our lives.

Seriously, Jordan, after the first three-ish photos you posted, none of them contain unusual amounts of teal OR orange.

i don't agree -- i mean, somehow (a coincidence?) 80% of the extras in the background of these scenes happen to be wearing teal or orange?

i mean a totally classic random sample here of people wearing all different color shirts at the chuck-e-cheese
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 8 February 2011 05:58 (thirteen years ago) link
So the problem is with the wall color of a Chuck-E-Cheese in a movie? Of the shirt of a random background guy?
I assume this thread is meant as a complaint. If it's just meant as observation, then I gently and politely do not care.

I don't think the issue is as much with costumes and set decorations as it is with the post-production colour correction.

I understand, that's ostensibly the trouble brewing here. The reason that particular palette is used so often is because the flesh tones remain reasonably believable, but the blues opposite those tones stand out in high contrast. It's all about making the blacks blacker, I think. It's a fashion, it will fade, and movies from this time period will be recognizable for that particular look.
― I am Woolen Man. The scarf and I are one. (kenan), Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:13 (thirteen years ago) link
It's not a bad color combination, I don't think. I have much more of a problem with the obsession with making the blacks as black as the cover of "Smell the Glove," and that's not just a movie problem. Every "glossy" computer monitor nowadays has it, as well.

I think it's that teal and orange are opposites on the colour wheel (or something like that). they make each other 'pop', as it were. that's why they do it. I blame Ridley Scott.
― Gukbe, Tuesday, 8 February 2011 06:22 (thirteen years ago) link

I have debunked that blog post before, elsewhere on ILX, to the best of my ability, and I don't care enough to dig it up.
Point is, it's a silly thing to get up in arms about.

"It's teal and orange and it makes me ANGRY!" Whoa whoa, easy there. The artform of film will survive this.

They're not even trying to hide it in Cedar Rapids. Everytime the commercial comes on, my brain starts doing a "teal & orange, teal & orange, teal & orange" mantra:

I watched "Hot Tub Time Machine" last night, and yeah, ok, the teal-and-orange-ness of it was really extreme. Also, I didn't laugh that much and found it vaguely depressing, which is a much bigger problem than the color scheme.

PPS: Thanks to @saintsoftness just learned that there already is a name for this color scheme, »Teal and Orange«, a popular look in color grading and achieved by »push[ing] blues or teals into the shadows and oranges or yellows into the highlights« https://t.co/GHgJ1SIcgb— Roland Meyer (@bildoperationen) March 7, 2023
Just saying: there exists a YouTube channel based around a conspiracy theory about how the Teal & Orange colour grading trend is actually due to a Mandela Effect-type mysterious phenomenon that turned all the world's media teal. pic.twitter.com/Dq1cemmgBz— Devan Scott (@SadHillDevan) July 15, 2023
