Previously we have studied details of The Simpsons with a more technical profile. Among them it is worth highlighting the evolution of its animation, the pilot episode that almost cancelled the series before it began, and even the real economic situation of Homer and his family. However, today is the turn of a visual reference: The color palettes of The Simpsons. The Instagram profile called Simpsons Palettes shares classic scenes from the series, accompanied by their main colors…
History teaches us that the digital experiments of the series began in the second half of 1995. The second episode of the seventh season, Radioactive Man, was the first to receive colors digitally, but the great debut of the technology happened with Treehouse of Horror XIII, in November 2002. From there, there was no turning back.
The animation became harder and more robotic, a detail that causes constant complaints from fans, but we can say with some certainty that the colors were not harmed. In fact, they always remained vibrant and well-defined. The Instagram profile Simpsons Palettes shows us the color palettes of The Simpsons in many unforgettable episodes, which besides serving as reference, are also an excellent source of inspiration.
