Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The number of concepts per colour makes this feel a bit arbitrary.

Well, in the end it’s all artistic choice. They’re telling you which can fit your themes. But you could also change that. Look at blue is the warmest color. Blue was love, lust, comfort—it was really just the strength of their relationship. As the blue disappeared from the movie, their bond was breaking apart.

It’s all subjective to the filmmaker. Choose what makes sense for your story and stick to it. Then it could be added to this list.

This is so conflicted that it shows there is no right / wrong answer to the ‘code’. Utterly subjective.

Turns out all those people who put an orange filter over scenes in Mexico were just trying to show a happy, friendly atmosphere!

Orange is exotic

“Innocence, sweetness” (pink). Isn’t the right image in the middle row the scene from The Wolf of Wall Street where his wife tries to seduce him?

The three left-hand pictures all subverted the trope too. Umbridge has a black heart, Rizzo is the least innocent girl in that movie, and the ski mask women scene is from a montage of crimes in a fairly dark comedy.

Of those three I can only comment on Umbridge. I think the point with her was that she seemed “pink”, but wasn’t.

Yeah but I also think the filmmakers are using these colors in clear contrast of the character to show intentional conflict or deception of the character in question
