The whole design is inspired by the Chinese traditional painting color on silk (silk: calligraphy and painting on silk, satin, silk fabrics. Color: To apply color to a painting. The silk colored paintings are painted and colored on wheat colored fabric, and the unique element of wheat color background color on silk creates the profound and primitive texture of Chinese painting.

On the color matching and color integration adjustment of Yanxi Palace
“Yanxi Palace” the early stage of the play is set to dress the way, art, photography composition is very delicate, large to the scene, character modeling clothing, small accessories props are all exquisite, bring people a kind of antique visual experience.
Therefore, according to the positioning of the play, the color matching in the late stage adopts the traditional Chinese color system. The traditional Chinese color system has a complete set of color system and implication. For thousands of years, it has been integrated into every aspect of ancient people’s life. Different colors have the same beautiful name, and each color has profound meaning, warm or distant, solemn or conspicuous, solemn or stately… The contrast between color and object often produces another profound and beautiful scene…
For example, magenta, white Juyi wrote camellia:
There seems to be a strong makeup purple yarn, line filled with a reflection of rosy clouds.
Yang Wanli wrote the lotus in watery red:
Next day lotus leaves infinite bi, reflecting the day lotus red.
In The Book of Songs, Qi ‘ao compares a gentleman with green bamboo:
Zhanpi Qiao, green bamboo green.
There are bandits gentleman, ear silu ying, saguen such as star.

For the tonal production of costume dramas, a major difficulty lies in whether the color matching is in harmony with the character environment, and whether it can well serve the overall effect of the picture.
The biggest characteristic of the traditional Chinese color system used in this “Yanxi Palace” is that natural plants, animals and minerals are used as color materials. Such colors from nature have a wide range of colors and are full of vitality. Instead of stiff and sharp colors of industrial chemical dyes, they are warm and soft. Better to bring the audience to the time when the story is set.
The production of color palette in the specific screen of costume dramas requires the upgrading and improvement of all the present industrial dyes. All colors in the picture are more integrated into the large tone on the basis of the same inherent color, so that the color is full of personality but not a color is very eye-catching, so that on the basis of restoring the prominent texture, but not to chaos.
In the overall scene picture color matching, color matching should serve the needs of the plot setting, remove excess noise, assist photography, lighting, according to the environment atmosphere, strengthen the light and shadow effect. It makes the picture have more impact on the senses and better assist the mood of the actors.
At the same time, toning should also be based on different character identity personality, and the residence of different characters has been designed to a certain extent.
The hall of mental Cultivation of the emperor, for example, was added with some bright yellow to highlight the emperor’s supreme status.
Changchun Palace, the residence of Empress Bai Moonlight, has been added a warmer shade of apricot yellow to show her gentleness and gentleness.
In the early stage, xianfei was devoted to the emperor and stood aloof from worldly life. Her Chenggan Palace in the early stage was more elegant, but in the late stage, she was forced to turn black. Some warm colors were added into the residence tone, which was more heavy, which not only showed her ambition to take the throne, but also showed her determination to replace it.

Early days make imperial concubine to stay for a long time of embroider square, then join some yan red performance just entered the palace of a group of little girls full of youthful breath.
In the picture, the largest color matching area is the exquisite clothes of the ladies, especially the embroidery using all three colors, colorful, plain colorful, light monochrome, elegant monochrome, complementary color, borrow color, colorful and vulgar color matching of Beijing embroidery, etc., are very exquisite and unusual.
Embroidery in luo, silk, silk, satin and other fabrics of different texture on the texture of luster is not the same. The color mixing needs to integrate all the colors of embroidery clothing so that a variety of different colors are well integrated into the color of the picture, which is closer to the traditional Chinese color system again without harming the inherent color, so as to achieve a deep and classical but vibrant sensory effect.
For example, adjust red to rouge, crimson, etc
The blue was usually adjusted to indigo, cyanotic, etc
Green is mostly adjusted to pine green, green shen,
Green, bean green, bamboo green, black green and other colors
Yellow adjusted to apricot yellow, zuxiang color,
Red gold, cotinus, brown yellow and so on
Purple adjustment for sandalwood, lotus root, purple and other colors
Not just for clothing, including the characters color makeup look, jewelry part of the colour and lustre of point cui, velvet flower, jade, porcelain, gold, silver, bronze burnish feels character, rubble beams, blinded, lacquer ware, and other color should be in guarantee on the basis of the original natural color according to integrate the whole is tonal adjustment, make each color more play has Chinese traditional color deep soft feeling, Better serve the picture and the story.
In the production process of the drama, not only the color creation and production of the main drama, but also the color adjustment of other material pictures related to the drama. We love the title has also been adjusted, revised to have more ancient painting atmosphere tone, so that it and the tone of the play to achieve echo unity.
As an indispensable part of the secondary artistic creation of films and TV plays, color mixing needs to give full play to this secondary creation. Screen color is the most intuitive feeling of a play. Accurate and meticulous tone production can quickly establish the positioning and temperament of a play in a better sense of view, and add to the icing on the cake.
