Real Is Brown	comment	Desaturating or heavily tinting a game a single color for the sake of realism, usually to a sepia effect (hence the trope name), but sometimes blue or pure grey. Giving a game a narrow color palette can make it look gritty, dramatic and "realistic" and stand out from similar titles. Done well enough, a game and its color scheme will always be associated with each other. In practice, this means a world of brown, grey, and the occasional red (y'know, from the blood splatter on the camera). A handful of 2D and early 3D games used this to make up for a limited number of onscreen colors, as they operated on limited-size color palettes, and requiring more hues to display a scene meant sacrificing subtle variations in saturation and brightness for those hues (as each variation requires a separate color in the palette). Starting with the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64 the colours became less restricted, allowing for games that had wider palettes and thus could support many different shades of grey, blue and brown. But the golden age of this trope came when consoles became powerful enough to use color grading effects, not even a decade after films began to use it themselves. With almost no examples to guide developers and an eagerness to stand out from the previous generation, it was both easy and tempting to abuse color grading. It was also used to cover up a limitation of lighting and shading engines - a light shines down and illuminates an object from that side, sure, but figuring out where the light goes after that and what else around it might also be illuminated (a process called interreflection) is extremely difficult for the computer to simulate, especially when it needs to do so 60 times every second. Until around the eighth generation of console games, the only solution was to use static lighting (accurate light and shadow mapping planned out in advance) and while reasonably effective, it comes at the cost of not having dynamic or interactive terrain or lighting, which in turn means no smooth day/night cycling or destructive terrain physics. Again, if everything is tinted one dull color, it's not as noticeable. Unfortunately, at a certain point your players will take a look outside their window and back at your game, and something will seem wrong. Why are those palm trees brownish green, even though you're supposedly on a tropical island? Brown may be realistic for some surfaces, but not for all of them, and everything is best taken in moderation, otherwise you'll end up with a game that's Deliberately Monochrome. Realistic titles in the modern day will often use this, and it's practically a stylistic requirement of gritty post-apocalypse titles to show how wrecked the state of the world is. It's becoming increasingly common for colorful games to mockingly parody this trope, usually by including an optional "next-gen" filter that tints the whole game brown. This, combined with noticeable improvements in graphics rendering technology since the heyday of the trope, means Real Is Brown has all but become an Undead Horse Trope, with the exception of a few franchises launched in the 7th generation. It's also become a Cyclic Trope similar to what happened with gritty comic books: while the sixth and seventh generations emphasized titles which did this, the eighth and ninth more proudly displayed colourful and saturated titles as a reaction. In addition, the introduction of the color- and contrast-improving High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology into many modern TVs has further caused many gaming companies to lean on wide color palettes to both provide rich and colorful Scenery Porn, and to ride on the HDR trend. That's not to say this trope has no artistic merit: the visual effect of Real is Brown does work in instilling a serious appearance, and any moments that do have saturated colour will stand out much more than they would have otherwise. Similarly, a colourful work may bring in a more muted colour palette for a dramatic, serious and less hopeful part of the story to reflect the mood. That said, the heart of this trope is less the palette itself and more the comical overuse of it in practically every realistic video game in the mid-2000s, instilling the belief in both creators and the audience that a serious story can't be taken seriously if it has saturated colours. Needless to say, this kind of viewpoint is laughable these days. See here for further info. Compare Gold Is Yellow. See also Mood Lighting, Color Wash. The use of Post-Processing Video Effects makes Real even Browner. See also the sister trope Who Forgot The Lights?, which deals with a shortage of light in general. This trope is usually when Color Contrast is deliberately avoided. Usually paired with a Crapsack World for added "realism". Warm Place, Warm Lighting is a related trope specific to filming, where media stereotypically portrays warm and poor locations like Mexican or Latin American settings in a dusty yellow/brown filter to imply an arid, dusty, polluted look. Now with a theme song. Resistance 3 - Fade to Brown Music Video. NOTE: This trope does not apply to a game taking place in an environment that actually would be gray or brownish in Real Life, like a lot of deserts, or a bombed-out cityscape. Unless they're just set in a desaturated environment to make their lack of color look like a deliberate design choice. Straight

Real Is Brown / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Thanks to it being a direct response to the massive fan backlash that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker received outside of Japan, this installment moves away from its predecessor's highly stylized, brightly colored, and cel-shaded visuals in favor of an art style that leans heavily on both realistic detail and amber palettes. Ironically, the homeworld of the Twilight Realm averts this trope, as it instead uses shades of purple and yellow for the sky, and grey with blue for both the ground and the internal rooms of the Palace of Twilight. The HD remake is considerably brighter and less brown in many places, although certain areas such as the Twilight and Eldin areas retain similar color schemes.

Real Is Brown / int_19a9d818	comment	Resident Evil (Remake) did this before it was cool, with nearly the entire game being washed-out shades of brown and grey, with a radioactive-green color filter throne on top for good measure. The mansion is so unceasingly brown and run-down that you might forget that people lived in it until a couple weeks prior to the gameâ€™s start. Itâ€™s an especially noticeable example since the game it remade had a quite vibrant (inspired by the Overlook Hotel) color scheme that made the mansion more â€œeerily sterileâ€� than â€œhaunted house.â€� Tropes Are Tools, the remake is often regarded as the best looking game of the next decade (or two) in no small part due to the muted color scheme letting the artists get around the GameCubeâ€™s limitations, although the original aesthetic has its advocates.

Hysterically lampshaded in Dragon Age II, with correct dialogue options, when Merrill asks how you like the north. DAII has a much more stylized color palette than its predecessor, possibly to avert the problems of this trope. Of course, since most of the game takes place in Kirkwall's dusty brown streets and alleyways, or in caves which are likewise brown, this trope gets played straight anyway. This is only really averted in the Mark of the Assassin DLC, which takes place in an Orlesian castle with all the color that such opulence would suggest.

Real Is Brown / int_1ab9ad1d	comment	Killzone, set on earthlike Vekta, had a modicum of (effects-filtered) color, including a green swamp level. On the other hand, man-made installations veered deeply towards brown-grey, and the final level was nearly entirely in monochrome greyscale. Killzone 2 runs the gamut of colors with this, earlier levels are a dank sickly green color with mixtures of yellow thrown in while the later ones run a mixture of brown orange and towards the end an almost blood red, though in all fairness you ARE on another planet known for its very harsh conditions. In a subversion, the sky above the clouds is nice and clear. Killzone 3 features plenty of the standard blasted-out cityscapes, but also neatly averts this in some wilderness areas that look like the protagonists wandered onto Pandora.

It gets topped with the Blorange filter in the PlayStation 4 titles. The team at Naughty Dog went to extraordinary lengths to avert this trope in normal gameplay, though, and the sheer variety of colors in each environment is simply stunning. Desaturation filters are used, but to great effect when Nathan is low on health, with the shift to near-monochrome being a stark visual cue to get to cover now so Nathan can heal.

Real Is Brown / int_49a88435	comment	Final Fantasy XII uses a mix of shades brown, green, yellow, and gray. A good portion of the game is in a desert, but areas like plains, forests, or beaches are also awash in brown colours. Especially noticeable if we compared it with the vibrant and colorful world of Spira from the previous entry. This might be explained by the fact that the main designer, Akihiko Yoshida, is a fan of earth tones as evidenced by his work. Most of the other Ivalice Alliance games use this trope, as well. Very much deliberately used, as a way to contrast Ivalice's more grounded setting against the high fantasy of other Final Fantasy games.

Once you start to evert, those colors get progressively muted and brownish. At least, until things start looking downright creepy. (The blood is bright red, though, and copious in abundance.) Real Is Brown is most visible in world X-5 and after that, the colors start to get more vivid again.

The Strip in particular is very bright and colorful, Zion while very full of reds, greens and blues it actually matches the real appearance of Zion in reality which has many red rocks and thriving forests, and Mt. Charleston is filled with snow and evergreens. However, it is set in the Mojave Wasteland so there is a lot of brown. But the developers have seemingly made the choice to associate brown with despair, failure, and destruction as the areas in the game that are the most brown are Legion territory, the Divide and the Sierra Madre. Things tend to be brighter in NCR territory and the city of New Vegas proper.

The trade-off for resolution and its wide-open areas was lowering the color palette. The game justifies it by having the first third of the game is set in overcast daylight and the rest takes place at night.

Unfortunately, those are the only places where you really get to use the game's famous Geo-Mod engine — you can dig holes all right, but you can barely tell what shape they are or how deep they go. Indoor areas have their own problems, but at least you can see where you're going.

Real Is Brown / int_702a974	comment	Shadow of the Colossus is said to have popularized the Real Is Brown trend, seeing as it was still a breathtakingly beautiful game, aesthetically speaking, and inspired other games to go with muted colors and lots of bloom. Note that the designers were not actually going for realism, but rather, a very stylized look. The game accentuates whatever the prevailing colours are in the area you're currently traversing. For example, when the player explores places of lush green, those colours are picked for enhancement instead of the yellowy brown of the desert or the dark earth.

Real Is Brown / int_73b74949	comment	Borderlands was originally supposed to look very gritty and realistic, but halfway through the development, the development team noticed how the artists used cel shading and other bright colors in their concept art, which caused the team to like it and change the entire game to reflect it. The first game is still quite brown-tinted and desaturated, with all other colors very pale in comparison to the brown and grey, with the rare bright green patch of greenery every now and then. The developers lampshaded this when they introduced Borderlands 2, saying that the artists learned that colors other than brown existed. It starts you off in a snow-capped valley next to an ice shelf, with lots of blue and white. Other environments include a lush green and stone-grey mountainous valley, a shining clean modern city filled with blues, yellows and silvers, a volcanic region with a purple tint as a result of all the Eridium deposits being mined there, dense swamps and jungles, dried up ocean beds in a tropical setting, among many others in an effort to avoid this trope. There still are the usual desert and trash-laden areas, to help establish the contrast.

Real Is Brown / int_755997ac	comment	Doom: The original Doom was noted for its "realistic" graphics, back in its day. Sure, plenty of levels go for muddy browns and grays, not helped by the generally dim lighting, but the palette has plenty of very saturated blues, greens, oranges, yellows and reds. The starting position of the first level of the first episode makes the deep blue floor very evident. The 2016 reboot was criticized at E3 2015 for being "too yellow." However, the developers later released a series of screenshots that showed off the game in various lighting environments and, sure enough, the game actually IS quite colorful. The dynamic lighting is just so powerful (and quite colorful) that it tends to sometimes hide the details of other objects in the scene. Doom 64 is a downplayed example: The vast majority of the setting is dark military bases and castles, resulting in a noticeably more drab color palette, but there are still some colorful environments.

It helped that comic companies were starting to introduce better-quality paper; Camelot 3000 was among the first to benefit from this — resulting in a hyper-aversion of this trope for the first few issues. Since the colorist wasn't used to working with genuinely white paper, the colors leap off the page at you. Later issues got things under control.

Real Is Brown / int_7f5bc680	comment	The Fallout series, what with everything having been nuked to within an inch of its life about 200 years ago. Very little green has returned: Lampshaded by Three Dog in the third game when telling his listeners about the Oasis: Despite this, Fallout 3 is actually much more green than it is brown, likely in reference to the association of radioactivity with a Sickly Green Glow in popular culture. This is due to a filter diluting the palette - modding the game to remove it makes the game far more colourful than you'd expect. Interestingly though, the game most expected to be brown, Fallout: New Vegas, actually has very good color variety when you're not in the wasteland or ruins. The Strip in particular is very bright and colorful, Zion while very full of reds, greens and blues it actually matches the real appearance of Zion in reality which has many red rocks and thriving forests, and Mt. Charleston is filled with snow and evergreens. However, it is set in the Mojave Wasteland so there is a lot of brown. But the developers have seemingly made the choice to associate brown with despair, failure, and destruction as the areas in the game that are the most brown are Legion territory, the Divide and the Sierra Madre. Things tend to be brighter in NCR territory and the city of New Vegas proper. Averted by Fallout 4, which uses a realistic shading not unlike Grand Theft Auto V. The brief Pre-War sequences in Fallout 4 further emphasize the colorful cars and clothes. Averted by Fallout 76, which takes place in West Virginia, which was left relatively unscathed by the Great War.

Thankfully, the game has a variety of graphic filters to choose from, with "Vivid" being the closest to the original games in terms of color. Serious Sam 3: BFE has a similar saturation setting, but is overall much more grey and yellow than the first two, with the graphical slider going all the way to legitimate greyscale. The vivid setting doesn't make it like its predecessors (Serious Sam II, for instance, is a very colorful game), but does make it more vibrant than other games on this list.

Real Is Brown / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Following the series' 3D Leap (and overall jump in graphics quality), this trope has been heavily played with. (There are also plentiful Game Mods for each game which change the color scheme in either direction to your liking.) To note: Morrowind: The island of Vvardenfell, the game's setting within the province of Morrowind, is more than 60% an ashy, volcanic wasteland owing to Red Mountain, the massive, active volcano at its center (and the second tallest mountain overall in Tamriel). Naturally, this leads to a lot of brown and gray in the game's color scheme. Even the plant life in the "greener" areas of the game are still often dull in color, leading to a washed-out appearance. Averted in the expansion. Tribunal takes place in Mournhold, Morrowind's captical city on the mainland, and is awash in color. Bloodmoon takes place on the northern island of Solstheim, with plenty of bright, snowy white and forest green in its color scheme, making for a sharp contrast from the main game. Oblivion: Averted with Cyrodiil itself, the capital province of the Empire, which is mostly a temperate rainforest similar to the Pacific Northwest. The landscape is positively awash in an almost watercolor-like color scheme. Even objects like weapons and armor are brighter and shinier than in its predecessor or successor. Played straight within the Oblivion Gates, portals to Mehrunes Dagon's Oblivion plane of "The Deadlands". It is a gloomy Mordor-esque Lethal Lava Land of dark volcanic rock. The eponymous realm in the Shivering Isles expansion both plays it straight and averts it: the setting's map includes the bright and cheery "Mania" and the dark and depressing "Dementia". Skyrim drops much of the bright colors of its predecessor. It takes place in Tamriel's far northern province of Skyrim, which is largely snow and tundra, so large chunks of the game world are washed in shades of gray, blue, and white. Even the greener areas tend toward darker and duller colors. The remastered edition of the game for PS4 and Xbox One is considerably brighter in many locations.

It had grey oceans, pale blue artic, sun-baked Kansas, obsidian black alien environments and the Superman costume a very dark blue. Considering director Zack Snyder's filmography featuring more vibrant Color Wash (in display in its sequel Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) this was a deliberate stylization to make the world feel natural and lived-in and, in turn, make Superman feel unusual but still a part of that world. For Zack Snyder's Justice League meanwhile, Snyder went for an ashy filter that made gold and silvery tones pop out.

Even the fairground area is dominantly red, with other colors tinted to blend in. It adds to the game's intentionally bleak atmosphere, which is accentuated when certain locations and setpieces cause the colors to appear even more washed-out, bordering on Deliberately Monochrome at times. It probably for this reason that the Player Character is clad primarily in black, which makes them easy to follow during the action despite them having less color than the environment.

Real Is Brown / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI is noticeably more muted than its SNES predecessors, with most of the playable cast being some combination of forest green, navy blue, and shades of tan in their color palettes (Terra and the Moogles being the main exception). Enemies that work for the Empire, such as grunt soldiers, robots, or magitek armors, are also duller in hue than the much more diversely-colored wandering monsters - again, with one big exception. Similar to VII, one of the main visual signifiers of the World of Ruin is the palette changing from the faded greens and rich browns of the World of Balance into an ugly dull tan with rust-red oceans. Midgar and Junon in Final Fantasy VII are designed with shades of gray, brown, and a dark filter to make the colors look even more muddy to emulate how the cities would look with the mass amounts of pollution from the Shinra company. Every other place in the game is a lot more vibrant with more variety in colors. The outside portion of Cosmo Canyon is a mix of red and brown due to the terrain and the setting sun's light. Final Fantasy XII uses a mix of shades brown, green, yellow, and gray. A good portion of the game is in a desert, but areas like plains, forests, or beaches are also awash in brown colours. Especially noticeable if we compared it with the vibrant and colorful world of Spira from the previous entry. This might be explained by the fact that the main designer, Akihiko Yoshida, is a fan of earth tones as evidenced by his work. Most of the other Ivalice Alliance games use this trope, as well. Very much deliberately used, as a way to contrast Ivalice's more grounded setting against the high fantasy of other Final Fantasy games.

Real Is Brown / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: The series makes use of this for the purpose of allowing the viewers discern quickly to between the various locales; The pseudo-arctic Wall and the Land Beyond are typically white and grey, the tundra-filled North is dark grey (getting lighter with onsetting winter), the wind-swept Iron Isles are grey and dark blue, the temperate Vale is grey and washed green, pseudo-mediterranean Kings' Landing is gold and olive, pseudo-Moor Dorne is luscious yellow and bright green, and pseudo-Levantine Slaver's Bay is dirty desert brown. Daenerys's three dragons, while still having black (for Drogon), green (for Rhaegal) and white (for Viserion) tints, are all closer to brown in the show compared to the more vivid descriptions from the books. Unfortunately this, combined with the fact that Rhaegal and Viserion's names are rarely if ever used onscreen, makes it harder to tell them apart. In its prequel show, House of the Dragon, everything is incredibly foggy, and it uses even more saturated and duller colors, almost having a Film Noir vibe, to empathize that this show has fewer fantasy elements, and is more closer to a Historical Fiction in genre.

Other areas tend to accurately mirror their host race's sensibilities (Stone buildings in countryside or snow for Empire, same but with more tentacles for Chaos, stone and metal for Dwarves, black and corrupted for Dark Elves, marble and bright colors for High Elves) in the architecture and often the landscape itself. For example - the area wracked by the Dark Elves' magic is suitable gloomy, purple and lightningy whereas its companion section for the High Elves is brightly lit, with purple trees and hills that appear to be made of sponge cake.

Instead, it uses a strongly saturated monochrome of gold colors as both a nod to the "golden age" of its setting as well as the Film Noir genre. Other colors, such as red and greens, serve as a Splash of Color. As Ross Scott points out, the game's overuse of its yellow filter can wear out the eyes quickly. The devs, realizing this, released the "Director's Cut" which allows you to turn off Lemon Blast Mode, but unfortunately then replaces it with a bland grey filter, with no option to turn off both filters whatsoever.

Real Is Brown / int_e035d18d	comment	Blood (1997) shakes things up with a few brighter levels (the snowy mountains and sea, the hedge maze, the forest, some watery areas), but most of the time if you're in an environment that's meant to be manmade (a city, a train, an old hotel), it will head into the brown end of the spectrum. Even Dark Carnival is pretty high on browns. Areas with stone construction use grays. Additionally, most weapons and nearly all the enemies are some mix of gray and brown, with the only standouts being the dynamite types (orange), the Tesla cannon (bright blue highlights), the hellhounds (orange-red), the spiders (some red, some green), and some of the cultist Palette Swaps in the expansions (the standard brown and gray ones are joined by blue, green, and red). Blood is anything but realistic, so this is more for the sake of furthering the game's Gothic Horror atmosphere than anything—and those environments aren't likely to stay brown for long.

Sure, plenty of levels go for muddy browns and grays, not helped by the generally dim lighting, but the palette has plenty of very saturated blues, greens, oranges, yellows and reds. The starting position of the first level of the first episode makes the deep blue floor very evident. The 2016 reboot was criticized at E3 2015 for being "too yellow." However, the developers later released a series of screenshots that showed off the game in various lighting environments and, sure enough, the game actually IS quite colorful. The dynamic lighting is just so powerful (and quite colorful) that it tends to sometimes hide the details of other objects in the scene.

This resulted in things like a character who traditionally was red being turned white with red trim, and more true to this trope, figures getting random brown plastic (on characters who traditionally never had any brown in their coloration). While this was mostly dropped by the time the second movie rolled around, the more realistic aesthetic did stick around for the third resulting in a great number of gray, beige, or brown vehicles.

Real Is Brown / int_fa1f76cf	comment	Played with in darkSector. The opening movie and first level are all in washed out black and white gray tones, and just when you think the whole game is going to be like that, the next level is a rather colorful Eastern European harbor village, with the rest of the game having reasonably bright colors (there is a mild color filter, but it's nowhere near as bad as the coffee filter in GTA4 or Gears of War). Things do get darker later in the game when night falls (it's partially a horror game, after all).

Real Is Brown / int_fa5e90fd	comment	City of Heroes averts this, but City of Villains plays it straight: the Rogue Islands tend to be muted shades of brown or grey, with the occasional patch of vibrant red. Going Rogue's Praetoria averts this as well. Buildings come in all colors in the first few zones, and even the underground and the industrial zones have a good amount of color.

Real Is Brown / int_fd5d7b47	comment	Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) paints the whole scene brown-orange every time you crank up the Visual Effects; when Carbon was created, they thankfully replaced the gritty brown with modern, cutting-edge blue. The 2012 Most Wanted completely averted this trope. Then Need for Speed: Undercover went back to brown with too much bloom. EA released a patch for Undercover that among other things moved the sun up and away from its position directly at the horizon and in the middle of your screen.

Real Is Brown / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: Melee and Brawl tend to give its character models more realistic details if possible; especially noticeable in this regard are cartoony characters like Mario. Bowser usually is depicted as orange or dark yellow in the original Super Mario series. In Melee he is just dirt brown◊, although this has been remedied a bit for Brawl and fully for Smash 4. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U aims to avert the trope by focusing on primary colors so characters and levels look brighter and pop out more.
