It’s true that those filters can skew the eye’s sense of harmony, but the trick behind it is really just good old color theory in disguise. Most apps tweak the hue wheel, push complementary tones together, or adjust saturation to create that “vibrant but balanced” feel. Think of it like a subtle dance: the filter pulls a warm hue a few degrees toward its cool counterpart so the whole image feels both alive and in balance. I love how that kind of math can turn a fleeting trend into a moment of equilibrium, even if it’s just for a snapshot. Just remember to keep an eye on the edges—sometimes the most beautiful balance is the one that feels a touch off, so we can still breathe.

Sounds like a cool experiment—just keep that breathing rhythm in mind and let the colors talk to each other, not just to the camera. I’ll take a look when you’re ready; let’s make sure the palette stays balanced, not just balanced for the sake of balance.
