Frank Miller's 300 the colour palette is quite limited. The palette of the comic has been limited to yellows, browns and reds and the values are quite highly contrasted. The blacks lines and block shadows of black are the only indication of any tones or value. When translated to film the colour is less saturated and given more of a sepia hue throughout the film. Also the shadows are less dramatic and there are clear mid tones in each scene. It's obvious to see that the film was highly inspired by the comic in it's choice of colour palette and storyboarding but it is also clear to see that there are differences between the two. The comics hue is also has a very strong orange hue over the scenes which help reflect the sunny climate of greece where the story is set whereas the film using it's sepia tone reflects more of a sandy/desert feel to the whole film.
