RTC, that was a great find. For years now, I've been complaining about this to anyone who will listen. A slight variant on the teal-orange look that he's talking about is the use of the cross-processed blue-green look to signify a gritty grubby locale. It's probably overused the most in TV detective shows.

Yeah same here. It's started to be a serious distraction for me in certain movies.

I thought that illustrating how some classic paintings would look in this color scheme was funny as h*ll. I might give it a try with the cross processed look ... ya know, God not in the sky in the Sistine Chapel, but have it look like he on the Lexington Ave subway in NYC, lit by dim blue-green-yellow fluorescent lights. ;-)

That sounds interesting. Remember to share if you do try it.

RTC, tyvm for this link. If I wasn't sobbing, I would have been laughing my azz off. Well, I was laughing. The guy has a great sense of humor in the face of this tragic adversity! I'm gonna have to bookmark that one.

Certain that this couple were the kingpins of a major farming operation, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms monitored them day and night for months without seeing any activity.

Yielding to pressure from content producers for late 19th century Holmes Steroscopes, Edvard Munch finally agreed to produce a little-known fifth version of "The Scream" in the ever popular muted-blue-green palette. The content producers argued that this would make the sense of foreboding more obvious to middle-class viewers. Surprisingly, art critics did not review this version of his famous painting favorably.

Tom Mann, you are a stitch! What nationalities make up the cultural mix which has given you such a unique mixture of scientific intellectualism and sardonic black humour?

Expiring minds want to know (if you please)

Yer gettin' mighty personal, there, Clare. ... But in the interest of full disclosure, I'm mostly Scottish / Irish with a sprig of oregano (aka, Italiano) thrown in.

Glad you got a chuckle out of my weird humor.

See! (triumphant crowing) I knew it. It's the Irish!

That was an interesting article. Now I'll see that in movies, talk about and my wife will eventually tell me to find another subject! I have to astute people to point out stuff like this, otherwise I never see it. Thanks RTC
