Talking about Disney, we will think of many vivid and interesting stories and images. Any classic Disney animation, are inseparable from the unique color style of Disney. From the original black and white color Mickey Mouse, to Snow White in a red and blue dress, to Buzz Lightyear with purple and green space suits, whenever we mention this animated image, as if the animated protagonist has formed an image in the brain, and their color combination is still fresh in our minds. So how does Disney make these changing colors together in a harmonious form? And, a specific style is formed in the hue, whenever we see this hue will remind us of the Disney style. This is the topic I want to explore.
We can feel a lot of natural colors from Disney animation, which is the reason why Disney’s color style is so comfortable and friendly. For example, Frozen draws on a lot of realistic nature’s colors to show the symbols of the four seasons in the film.
But completely copy the reality is uninteresting, to make the picture becomes interesting, you need to add some contrasting colors, which is also Disney’s common color scheme, the use of warm and cold contrast, so that the picture to achieve a dreamy atmosphere.
