Well, it’s no-mans-land in WW1, so that’s all mud. There’s no grass to speak of. That whole scene is just mud and dirt and the ruins of war. I think grey mud and skin tones aren’t really unnatural, but as I say, I’m speaking out of ignorance. Would they color-grade it so her skin wasn’t its actual tone, and mud wasn’t gray?

The slightly muted colors in Wonder Woman does make more sense to me than BvS. The WWI take place in London, which is dreary, and a Europe at war. So the color palettes worked for me. Also as a contrast the stuff in Themiscira (sp?) was bright and pretty so it wasn’t all the same limited tones.

In general, comic book movies have been too muted. DC is worse than others. It made sense for the muting of WWI trench scenes. I’d still like to see costumes pop more, but at least the other scenes weren’t all muted, especially in the magical island.

If there’s enough light out for her skin and clothing to be lit with golden light, there should be a lot more detail on the ground. The ground looks like it was photographed at midnight, by the light of a very blue moon. While the actor appears to have been filmed at golden hour. (look at the brightness of the armor on her left arm and the right side of her chest. Now, look at the pillar behind her and note the light source behind it.) This is very common in color graded films, and nonexistent in unretouched images.
It’s very much like the image of Brad Pitt here: http://noamkroll.com/color-grading-for-the-blockbuster-look-why-it-works-wonders-on-every-shot/
She’s wearing clean metal, her gauntlets especially. If it were “golden hour” it would be way brighter. Her skin would almost be pale orange. And the ground is way too light for midnight.
I can see how “orange and teal” is a thing, but you sound like you’re at the point where you’re seeing it everywhere.

For a while I was seeing cyan and magenta everywhere, but then I realized that I still had 3D glasses on.
