For those of you playing with the colors of the prequel films, I stumbled across this video comparing Attack of the Clones with various pieces of its concept art, and what stands out to me is while the framing is occasionally almost identical to various concept pieces, the colors in the art pop so much more than the colors do in the final film, especially when compared side-by-side like this.

A few things I noticed, in the art, the earlier Coruscant scenes seem a lot bluer, the Coruscant night scenes seem to have a lot more contrast, and Geonosis really leans into the orange-red color. The the way the concept art uses colors seems a lot more visually appealing to me. I know a lot might have to do with lighting as well, and it seems recent posts are going in the opposite direction with the colors. Maybe having more color makes it feels less real and more cartoony, but I would be interested to see attempts at going in the opposite direction with the colors and try to make them pop more.
