A beautiful use of colour in movies is seen in the film “The Grand Budapest Hotel” (Wes Anderson, 2014).

Here, Anderson uses a large array of pastel colours to help set the mood or to show character significance. For example,in one scene, the workers wear purple to contrast with the red wall in the background, showing their importance to the hotel, however one of the guests wears red and therefore disappears into the background foreshadowing her demise.

additionally, characters like “Dimitri” wear black clothes to signify conformity – darkness taking over. And characters like Agatha had warm pink hues reflecting off their face which symbolises innocence and shows she is a lovable innocent character.
