Matte grey blacks, cool shadows and soft contrast, the way a colour print fades on a sunny shelf.

Where it shines

The coast, clear water and bright summer places. Hard contrast softens, the blacks fade to grey and the shadows cool.

What to watch

Night scenes and dark rooms lose their depth and turn grey. For a warmer fade, try Road Trip.
