Hey, have you ever thought about how color palettes can subvert the usual tropes we see on social media? I love tweaking tones to create new emotional beats, but I wonder how you would twist that idea for maximum shock.
Color palettes are just the opening act, so make the first beat a punch. Flip pastel comfort into brutal neon, then bleed it with dusty earth tones so the calm feels wrong. Throw a glitch in the middle, make red feel safe and blue feel like a threat. The shock isn’t in the color itself, but in the moment you break the audience’s expectation.
Wow, that’s a bold concept. I can already feel the shock factor when you swap the soft pastels for neon and then bleed them with dusty earth tones—makes the calm feel like a trap. The glitch in the middle will definitely flip the script on expectations. Just be careful that the red doesn’t become too overwhelming or the blue too calm; the balance is razor‑thin. It’s a great starting beat, but remember to keep the transitions tight so the audience can feel the punch, not just see it.
Sure thing, but remember the audience doesn’t want a wall of neon and dust that screams “I’m over the top” before they can catch their breath. Keep the glitch short, the red punchy, the blue unsettling—no room for a lull. If you slip one beat off, it feels less like a shockwave and more like a bad joke. You’re doing it, just don’t let the palette turn into a paint‑ball fight.
Got it—no wall of neon, just a quick punch. I’ll keep the glitch razor‑short, drop a punchy red that hits hard, and make the blue feel like a lurking threat. That way the audience never has a moment to breathe before the shock lands.
