As the story shifts from exposition to action, so too does the palette, designed by Lou Romano, shift to support it. “The color scheme got into the story arc that Brad wanted,” lighting designer Janet Lucroy noted. “In the prologue during the glory days of the Supers, it was incredibly saturated—almost over the top—with the purest colors. Fifteen years later, in Bob’s office at Insuricare during the time the heroes have to suppress their powers, the palette is very desaturated; all the colors are drained out and it’s almost monochromatic. As the story progresses, we introduce color back in or pull it out to support the action or lack thereof. By the end of the film, when the family is functioning as an integrated unit and has balance in their lives, the color is naturalistic and balanced. Of course, this is done with a relatively subtle hand. The audience should feel that they’re in a different place physically or emotionally, but not that their perception is being manipulated by color. The stylistic choices are made to support the story, not upstage it.”
