Colour is important in creating the two worlds and showing the theme 'looks can be deceiving'. This is shown when comparing the study's in the real and other worlds. The real world study is dull, dowdy and cold with a grey and blue colour palette. This makes the audience feel like the space is miserable and unpleasant to be in. The director did this to show that Coraline is upset that her father is to busy to spend time with her. Juxtaposed to this is they study in the other world. Artificial oranges and reds make the other study feel warm, welcoming and enticing. Selick does this to show the audience that this is the kind of world Coraline would like to live in. Colour is used to make the other world feel like a safe place but it is actually a trap to lure in Coraline and steal her SOUL!
