Answer
Color is one of Paul’s favorite shortcuts to emotion. Instead of changing locations, props, or wardrobe, he’ll often just shift hue to completely rewrite the mood of a scene.
- Red pushes thriller/horror energy: danger, tension, urgency
- Green feels sci‑fi or uneasy: alien, unnatural, something’s “off”
- Blue grounds drama: calm, cold, serious, introspective
- Purple adds fantasy/mystery: surreal, dreamlike, otherworldly
By pairing colors (like red + blue for passion vs calm, or pink + green for dreamy but unsettling), the frame starts telling the story before a single word is spoken.
