Before digital processing, color was defined by the photochemistry of film stocks — each with its own spectral sensitivity, saturation curve, and characteristic cast. This palette evokes the warm highlights, muted shadows, and faded midtones of iconic analog film.

Colors that evoke the warmth, grain, and tonal character of analog film photography.
