Basic complementary color theory states that when two contrasting colors are put together, they "pop", so the natural technique is to color films to have a strong, contrasting palette.

The one thing you will almost always have in a film is people. Human skin runs from pale pinkish yellow to dark brown, all of which are shades of orange. The color that contrasts best with orange is blue.

So you just turn up the shadows to the teal end, the highlights to the orange.

Unlike other pairs of complementary colors, fiery orange and cool blue are strongly associated with opposing concepts—fire and ice, land and sea, day and night, invested humanism vs. elegant indifference, good old fashioned explosions vs. futuristic science stuff. It's a trope because it's used on purpose, and it does something.

Subtrope of [[Mood Lighting]] and sister trope to [[Unnaturally Blue Lighting]], as well a very specific and common form of [[Color Contrast]] and [[Color Wash]]. Not to be confused with [[Blue and Orange Morality]] (even when it overlaps with [[Good Colors, Evil Colors]], as in ''[[Tron: Legacy]]''). Ties in with [[Hollywood Darkness]], which is usually blue or teal.

<link rel="EditURI" type="application/rsd+xml" href="https://allthetropes.org/w/api.php?action=rsd"/>
Has a vague resemblance to the [[Loudness War]]; in both cases, something is pushed [[Up to Eleven]] in post-production, removing all subtlety from the sound or picture. Can be a factor in [[Digital Destruction]].

* ''[[Burn Notice]]'' uses this all the time too. Watch out for Michael's orange skin, paired with a light blue shirt. Happens almost every other scene
<div id="right-navigation">
* ''[[Instant Star]]'' used a blue filter for the school interior sequences, to better match the late 19th/early 20th century stone [[High School]] building they used for exteriors and [[Hey, It's That Place!|disguise the interior sets]] built for the midcentury-modern [[Degrassi]] school building.
<div id="p-views" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs emptyPortlet" aria-labelledby="p-views-label">
* Interesting use in ''[[Awake (TV series)|Awake]]'', where the two different universes that the show alternates between each get their own color pallete: Red/orange for the reality where Britten's wife is alive, and green/blue for the one where his son is.

*** In fact, just about everything with two states in Portal 2 alternates between blue (off, inactive) and orange (on, active). The blue dots on the walls linking buttons and items turn orange when buttons are pressed, the big pressure buttons and the cubes to depress them are trimmed in pale blue, but light up orange when active, cube droppers light up orange when they're dropping a cube...

* ''[[Metroid Prime]] 3: Corruption'' used this for box art and other artwork, but not quite as much for the game itself—while blue ''is'' rather prominent because of Phazon becoming more abundant, orange is largely limited to Samus and her gunship.
</div>
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword]]'' exaggerates it for the [[Dark World|Silent Realm]] in order to emphasize [[Eldritch Location|how alien the alternate dimension is]]. However, everything turns red whenever Link is spotted.
</div>
* The new ''[[Mortal Kombat 9|Mortal Kombat]]'' has this on the cover and, to a lesser extent, on the main menu background; both achieve this by putting Scorpion and Sub-Zero opposite each other.
<div class="portal" role="navigation" id="p-Troping_Utilities" aria-labelledby="p-Troping_Utilities-label">

* ''Singularity'': only in the time-warped alternate-2011, though. In 1955, a more normal color palette is used. This is to help show off the unnatural state of the world in 2011.

* As noted in the page quote, the original ''[[Castlevania (1986 video game)|Castlevania]]'' for the NES had most, if not all, of its foreground scenery orange, complete with many blue backdrops throughout the game. Even Simon's sprites were a yellow-orange to help him pop out. Averted in ''Vampire Killer'' for the [[MSX|MSX2]], which used a color palette of more subdued browns and shades of gray.
