Teal & Orange
Cool shadows against warm highlights for a cinematic separation.

What this look actually does
- Adds a cyan offset to shadows and an amber offset to highlights with continuous luminance weighting.
- Raises saturation and contrast modestly so the two colour families separate.
- Does not detect faces or isolate skin. It is a global transform and will tint a whole shadow region.
Best for
Urban night, street and interior scenes that already mix cool ambient light with warm practicals.
Watch out for
Flat daylight footage will get teal patches that were meant to be neutral. Use it on footage that already has a colour story.
How to use it
- Works well on already-graded Rec.709 footage.
- If the result looks dirty, lower the saturation control before lowering the whole LUT.
