Movies In Color is an intriguing project by LA-based designer Roxy Radulescu. She derives light, medium and dark color palettes from movie stills and merges them into a 21-color spectrum.
The idea came to Roxy while watching Skyfall (2012) when she was intrigued by the cinematography of the film. After creating a color palette for the movie she decided to start a blog, which now comprises of a whopping 388 movie stills from the past 75 years. Here are some famous ones.
