This week’s featured poster is from A Complete Unknown, showcasing a classic movie color harmony—orange and teal complementary! Orange takes the lead, glowing warmly in the streetlights and reflections, while teal acts as the perfect counterpoint in the shadows and background tones.
The design sticks to its two-color palette, with other hues either desaturated or subtly leaning toward orange or teal. This creates a cinematic and cohesive look that highlights the mood of the film—intimate yet mysterious. It’s a reminder of why this classic pairing remains a favorite in film design.
