Gray/yellow
pictures for it
The colours are gloomy, dark and washed out. The predominant colour used in this palette is gray because it creates an atmosphere of sadness and boredom. The director has done this to help the viewer empathise with coraline in her real world were she feels ignored

The Colours in the other world Palette are bright, Radiant and vivid. The Predominant Colours used are shads of Orange and Red which gives it a mood of excitement. This is done to re-enforce the idea that coraline is wanted in the other world. It is a wondrous place for her to be. However we know that this is all part of the other mothers plan to lull her in.

The colours in the scenes with the evil other mother are bright, creepy and vivid. The predominant colours used is green and purple, because this has a creepy feel along with the lighting. The director has used these colours to make the room have a contrast to the rest of the house by the end of the film.
