The application of colors in cinema means describing a mood and communicating a matter or question. Color is important for directors of different kinds of genres and is able to influence how a movie is watched and perceived by a viewer. Additionally, it can totally change and influence the feelings and emotions of the person watching.

Examples of his color usage in his movies

This unfriendliness was not only mostly created with colors like white, but also jarring reds.
