In recent years, a noticeable trend towards desaturation has emerged in film and television, leading to a homogenized color palette across various projects. This shift away from vibrant colors is attributed to advancements in digital color grading technology, making it easier to achieve specific looks. The author highlights how this desaturated aesthetic has become pervasive, resulting in a lack of visual diversity and individuality among different productions. Various factors such as the rise of digital color grading tools, attempts to mimic successful films like "The Matrix," counter-reactions to overly saturated colors, and the influence of post-apocalyptic narratives contribute to the widespread adoption of desaturation techniques. Despite some exceptions like "Station Eleven," which embraces rich colors in its post-apocalyptic setting, the overall industry tendency leans towards muted tones for serious or dramatic storytelling.
