The Coens' palette shifts to match their genre. The sun-bleached desolation of No Country for Old Men and True Grit, the warm amber nostalgia of O Brother Where Art Thou, one of the first major films to use digital color grading to create a vintage sepia tone, the grey Chicago winter of Fargo. They understand that color is genre, that it sets expectation before the story does.
