Stranger Things Color Palettes

 

Stranger things Color Palettes

The third season of the Netflix's Stranger Things has started, kids.

And to get in the mood, let's have a look at the images and colors of this season.

 

 As you can see, the night shots are colorgraded in the synthwave/cyberpunk style, lots of blues and magentas, and some of the day shots are very similar to the coloring in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, with lots of  browns and warm colors, but in the Anderson film the skies are faded white and there is a yellow tone on everything and the darks are faded or matte. The coloring on the Stranger Things is very saturated, as the 80's were.
