This week’s featured poster is Strange Darling, which uses an intense analogous color harmony. Hot orange leads the charge as the key color, with shades of magenta and dark plum supporting it. The combination gives the poster a visceral, almost neon effect that immediately grabs your attention.
What’s especially striking here is how the warm color palette echoes the psychological tension of the film. Hot orange is an unusual choice as a dominant color, and paired with magenta, it gives off an almost feverish energy—perfectly suited for a thriller. The neon-like glow of the colors creates a sense of danger and allure, pulling the viewer in while adding a modern edge to the design.
