‘The Sympathizer’ The 3 main colors used.

When developing the color palette for 'The Sympathizer', we focused on three main color tones. Firstly, we emphasized gold tones with hints of green. We felt these tones provided a vintage feel, evoking classic cinema. Secondly, we incorporated cooler green tones, particularly in uncomfortable scenes, using blue-greens to subconsciously make the viewer feel uneasy. Lastly, we used powdered blues to reset the viewer's eyes from the warmer tones. This not only created a nice juxtaposition with previous scenes but also kept the overall color palette interesting and unique. All 7 episodes of The Sympathizer are now available to watch on HBO MAX.
