Blue is the most common favorite color in the world. As a result of being the natural color of the sky, it's universally known to calm and ease. But like any color, if it overwhelms a scene, it can instill negative feelings, in this case a cold and harsh mood. A subtrope of Mood Lighting and Color Wash, common in Science Fiction and Forensics shows, shots are suffused with vaguely blue lighting. This is usually complemented by stark, overly bright desk lamps. Occasionally this infects outdoor scenes, making sunny days look more overcast; this should not be confused with the dark blue camera filter used in shooting "day for night". A low-intensity version of the effect can be produced by shooting a scene lit with daylight-balanced light on film (or its digital equivalent) that is balanced for incandescent (tungsten) lighting. Daylight has more blue than incandescent indoor lighting, but typically has less than some fluorescent lighting used in offices, which may be part of where the trope originated. In the early '80s, HMI-lighting (strong lights, with daylight temperature) came and was often used outside, mixed with regular bulbs, giving them a strong blue tint (as they were bluer than they are today), which is often seen in the early '80s. Today it still remains for moonlight, as otherwise it would be hard to separate from daylight, however often in a much subtler way. Although this is a good way to cover up a lower-budget set, the light can sometimes become glaring and/or induce too many shadows. The rise of Orange/Blue Contrast made this nearly ubiquitous in mainstream movies and television throughout the 2000s and early 2010s; it seems to have peaked since then. Contrast Warm Place, Warm Lighting, when orange or yellow lighting makes a place look hot — but like this, can also make it look ill. Examples |

K does this for most of the series. Some have theorized that it signifies the Blue Clan's power and influence - indeed, the color does shift a bit when the Red Clan and Green Clan gain influence. But blue is the default look for most of the series. | |

The Defenders: Scenes that are mostly focused on Jessica Jones have a blue filter applied with varying degrees of depth. This is rather nicely seen in the police interrogation room, when Misty is trying to interrogate her. The room is entirely washed in blue, except for the door to the room, which is red and gives a visual cue that Matt is coming to represent her. | |

Most episodes of Arrow feature flashbacks to what Oliver experienced during his five years of being presumed dead, which tend to be their own "B plot" for the episode. They also have a slight blue tint to them, probably to both induce a sense of cold and unease and also to help distinguish these scenes from the present-day plot which aren't tinted. | |

The Matrix: All scenes that take place in said Matrix have green lighting (although the effect is relatively subtle in the first film's original releases). It's computerized tinting done entirely in post-production. That's why the non-remastered version is different. Similarly, scenes set in the real world have a blue bias. Could be justified because the Matrix is, after all, an artificial simulation and not a natural world. | |

Star Trek: Picard: In "Remembrance", there's blue lighting in the Parisian alleyway where Dahj contacts her "mother." In "Absolute Candor", the lounge where Narek and Soji enjoy Romulan ale is lit with an extremely vivid blue illumination, to the point where everything and everyone in the room appear blue-tinged.◊ In "Nepenthe", the latter part of Narissa's interrogation of Hugh and the scene where Elnor and Hugh are forced to confront Narissa and her lackeys are saturated in blue light. |

Minority Report is a classic example (and thus the page image for that reason) — it's in most scenes and submerges some of them. Some viewers found it strained their eyes. Minimally desaturating some of the color schemes and giving them a blue-ish tint was allegedly done to make the film somewhat evoke classic black-and-white Film Noir from which it was inspired. | |

CSI-verse CSI: NY used this a lot in their first season, not only in the lab but in the outside sets, too. To the point where many viewers kept feeling that New York looked cold or in perpetual twilight. In an example of good Executive Meddling, the producers were asked to tone it down in later seasons. This and a change in sets for the lab (from cement basement to windowed skyscraper) helped the show feel less like CSI: Antarctica. CSI: Miami uses orange and yellow light a lot to enhance the "sunny" feel of the scenes. They are more subtle about this than CSI: NY was with the blue lighting, but it still shows, especially on sets located indoors. One instance where this became humorous was when they had a crossover with CSI: NY, and David Caruso obviously brought his orange with him when everything else was blue. This gets a Shout-Out in the ads for the CSI Trilogy with pictures of the three leads tinted with their respective lighting (original being green). The lighting used on the shows seems to extend to the DVD packaging with CSI being in green boxes, CSI: NY being in blue boxes and CSI: Miami being in orange boxes. The Cold Case episode "Saving Sammy" used this both in the past and in the present. The aforementioned Sammy, an autistic teenager, is believed to have murdered his parents three years prior and has a mental shutdown as he and his older sister, both being shuffled around in the foster care system, deal with their tragedy and current situation. Turns out, it was the sister's lovesick boyfriend who killed them to prevent their move to another state where Sammy would have gotten better care. |

Silent Witness: Unnaturally Blue Lighting is used regularly, particularly in pathology scenes. Partially this is an exercise in fashion and style: many contemporary British dramas were also using the technique. In the pathology scenes, the lighting increases the cold, clinical and confronting atmosphere. | |

Battlestar Galactica: Used for most of the scenes that happen on New Caprica and the 1st Earth in the remake. In addition, the Algae Planet had a more grey-blue tint to it. Scenes in Caprica had a bad orange lighting even before the nukes hit. | |

X-Wing has this in the scene where a disturbing-looking medical droid is helping treat your rebel pilot's injuries if he survives his ship being destroyed and doesn't get captured by the empire. | |

The Silver Chair: When the characters enter the Underworld, most of the light there is blue and cold, which is reflected in the sadness of the faces of the beings living there. Later, this is contrasted with "it's our kind of light, not all blue and cold". | |

MindJack: Almost everything is blue-gray, probably so you can use the Color-Coded Multiplayer indicators a bit easier. | |

Some of Platoon is filled with blue tint. Said tint is omitted from Blu-ray/HD releases. | |

Battlefield Earth: Most of the Psychlo-centric scenes are shot like this. It is possible they are taking their lead from the novel where Pyscho "breath-gas" has a purple tint. | |

Legion: The scenes of Charles and Gabrielle at the psychiatric hospital are saturated in blue light to denote that it's an utterly drab and dreary environment for all the patients there. | |

Interview with the Vampire (2022): The front gate of Lestat's townhouse is pastel green, but in the "Louis at the Front Gate" and "Season 1 Character Quotes" promos, the blue lighting makes the gate appear blue. | |

The Cold Case episode "Saving Sammy" used this both in the past and in the present. The aforementioned Sammy, an autistic teenager, is believed to have murdered his parents three years prior and has a mental shutdown as he and his older sister, both being shuffled around in the foster care system, deal with their tragedy and current situation. Turns out, it was the sister's lovesick boyfriend who killed them to prevent their move to another state where Sammy would have gotten better care. | |
