UK light is very different to California light.

Colours here really are washed out. A long time ago I was in Australia. My then gf bought a bedspread by an artist called Ken Done - lots of bright primary colours.

It looked great in Sydney.

In UK light - even in sunlight - most of the colour punch disappeared. It actually looked kind of grey and old. Disappointment...

So if supersaturate movie colours, they look surreal here.

But California really is teal and orange. The light is warm and intense, and LA gets a lot of clear blue sky. So I wonder if directors like TnO because it's a variation on natural Hollywood light.
