The recent success of Oscar-winning movie "The Artist" proved that black and white films can still compete with those shot in color, but these days that's more of an exception than the rule. And that's because color has allowed filmmakers to find new ways to tell stories. It 's not just there to look pretty. It can also convey and instill emotions, create distinct atmospheres and even help to progress the plot.
Acknowledging the importance of color, Tweeter @cinemapalettes compiled a list of over 200 color palettes used in memorable scenes from famous movies such as Stanley Kubrick’s "Shining", Alejandro Iñárritu’s "Revenant", Hayao Miyazaki’s "Spirited Away", and George Miller’s "Mad Max" and many more.
Check out @cinemapalettes's Twitter page for a full list. Oh, and if your favorite scene is missing, you can also tweet your requests.

This is pretty neat
Superb thanks for this
Wow! I love it
as an architecture student who's always searching waaaay too long for a nice palette i can only say thank you so so much! :)
There is a several website where you can do that...where is the creation? Capture2-5...599357.jpg
The description says the Tweeter compiles these. There is no claim that the Tweeter created anything.
So they sampled colors from a frame, big deal!
Such a creative mind, love the Pantone color swatches! Great inspiration for color palates for the home!

wow, this is boring.. whoever thought that posting color palettes of movie scenes is fun to read or look at should get out more often. Thankfully, Iveta Pete didn't post all 200 palettes otherwise, I'd just stick a knife in me and end my suffering by the time I reach the 30th.
