In the movie, The Shining, Stanley Kubrick uses shades of red and blue to symbolize innocence and perniciousness. In the beginning of the film, the owner of the Overlook Hotel wears a dark blue jacket with a deep crimson tie as he informs Jack Torrance of the macabre past of the hotel. In the following scene, Wendy Torrance, Jack’s wife, wears a bright, colorful blue dress with a vibrant red shirt and socks while discussing the positive side of Jack’s outbreak against his son. Similar to Kubrick’s use of color in The Shining (AdvSC), F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the colors yellow and gold to symbolize new and old money. Both authors use similar, but different colors as a symbol to display the relationships between both themes. Gold represents old

Throughout the novel the importance placed on colors begin to reveal more about specific characters and their personalities. When Nick first visits Daisy and Tom’s house he describes it as "bright" (Fitzgerald 12) and with windows that are "gleaming white against the grass" (Fitzgerald 12). The color white becomes traditionally associated with purity and innocence which is often used to describe Daisy. However as time progresses, the white dresses Jordan and Daisy often wore, slowly change to yellow as their moral flaws are revealed. Green, a color often associated throughout the novel, to the green light, symbolizes an unhappiness with the present and a desperation for the future, an attitude present throughout the idea of the American dream.

It uses pale blues, greens, yellows, and grays to emphasize mood and perspective. The lack of bright color sets the mood to be isolated, disinterested, and unenthusiastic. Furthermore, the color aids the perspective by fading into grey and blue as objects get further into the distance. Next, the artist uses lines to draw attention to different parts of the painting.

Color brings in a certain mood for instance blue could mean cold or scared. This scene is yellow toned which gives it a vintage vibe rather than the rest of the film which is blue toned which is cold, scary sterile. The scene is of Vincent as a child, his parents are dressed in a more 1950s style but with modern technology. I think the use of color makes sets the scene as homelier. A lot of horror films use blue as the main color when things are “scary” and then the next scene they use yellow to make the scarier scenes seem scarier.

Director David Fincher has an affinity to the colors of blue and orange and their various shades. This is made abundantly clear in this film and especially this scene. Almost every single moment of this sequence has a blue background with an orange foreground or combines those colors to create a beige color. Throughout the flashbacks, we are shown memories from inside Nick and Amy’s house. The furniture is beige, the walls are beige, the decorations are gray-blue, and the lighting provides a warm orange
