How palette choice changes the image
A palette does not reveal temperature in a normal photo. It changes how visible brightness is represented. Warm palettes feel dramatic, cool palettes clarify highlights, green suggests night vision, and monochrome emphasizes form.
Match palette to subject and light
Pets and portraits often benefit from clear separation around eyes and fur. Landscapes can carry broader gradients. Low-light scenes need enough visible detail before any palette can produce a readable result.
