I just can't stand anything about the visuals of the movies, really

Not even the Shire? I've never heard of anyone not liking the visuals of the Shire.

I don't. It's so ersatz.

At least it's not teal and orange? Small mercies?

Came here to say this. And you can go ages without something exploding or the director shoving an actress' tits or ass at the screen. It is a whole different paradigm.

I'd prefer teal and orange tbh

I don't, simply because teal and orange is inescapably present in EVERY FUCKING ACTION MOVIE EVER, whereas the grey-green is only really a thing in the LOTR movies.

No kidding. I like it in Fury Road, but it's so amped up and bright there that I can't help it. Everything else... eeeeh... can I please see things in the colors they were meant to be?

I love it! But then, green in all variations is my favourite colour. *g*

Aw. I'm sorry, OP. Personally, I find the visuals of these movies completely stunning. I never tire of them. I never really noticed the color scheme per say, but I do love the way the movies look.

Per se.

Better than the current omnipresent orange or blue.

It does get a bit tedious, but I actually only noticed how limited it was after consuming a lot of fanart (and Tolkien's watercolors) that have vastly more varied and colorful and contrasting color schemes. When I watched the movies I thought the visuals were really stunning (still do, even if now I wish there was more color variety) and a very welcome departure from the far more relentless blue-and-orange of 99% of all other action movies.

Tolkien's watercolors are really cool. I know he personally thought his art wasn't good enough for publication, but I thought they were really beautiful and evocative even if they were technically somewhat rough/amateurish. You can tell how vivid his mental images of the locations were and how he tried to translate them onto paper.

I didn't know Tolkien did watercolors until you just said. I looked them up and they're gorgeous.

As mentioned above, the fact that at least it isn't blue and orange is an automatic huge plus in my book.

Also, I sort of think that the grey-greenness of the Eriador region made the non-grey-green parts stand out more? Like the Shire, or Mordor, or the plains of Rohan - it made it easier to say "okay, yeah, this is definitely a different region we're in now."

I wasn't a huge fan of the greyish color scheme of the interior sets though. They all looked kind of the same.

Awww, sorry, OP. I didn't mind it, personally.

You know all the super-desaturated, or teal and orange, it really makes me miss actual legit old school Technicolor [TM]

IKR?

It makes me want to rewatch the colorized version of the Wizard of Oz.

I like that color scheme because I love those colors, but I can see how someone who isn't as into those colors might get a bit tired of it

I loved it, because it is the colour of New Zealand. There were also blue skies, white snow, gold plains for Rohan and the dark stone of Moria and Mordor. And I appreciate a world without electricity that isn't harshly lit indoors!

Yeah, I came here to say this. I didn't notice anything particularly distracting about the trilogy's colour scheme, but then I've lived in NZ all my life! It's just the way it looks.

I think green-and-earthy makes sense for Middle Earth.

So do I.
