Before I go any further, I have to warn you. If you read on, you'll come to discover one of the most annoying trends in movie making history. Every big production you'll ever see from this point on will probably follow this trend and once you're aware of it, you can't stop being aware of it, and you'll rue the day you read on and came to learn about Orange and Teal!

See, when you put complementary colors together, everything pops! It is as if Michael Bay rolled his camera out exclusively during golden hour. But why orange and teal? Because white actors are already orange to begin with and on the opposite end of the spectrum we find teal. So this happens...
