Detour Home 5 - Spectrum Color Palette

This palette captures the emotional shift of the film from uncertain kindness to manipulative tension and finally psychological horror. Hunter Green = Olivia’s wildness, her unpredictability, the forest they drive through, road signs. Psychological Violet = trauma bruises, buried wounds, the madness lurking beneath charm. Panic Blue = fear taking over rationality, when the ride becomes a trap. Firelight Orange = cigarettes, ignition, rising danger, and Olivia’s unpredictable “spark”. Abyss Black = the night that swallows exits, choices, and safety.
