Desaturation

Desaturated colours say a lot about the emotion and the story in films and in this post I am using 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' as an example. Throughout the film there is little colour in the main character's life except that of his ex-girlfriend. Her hair, although different depending on the time of the events taking place, is always a bright colour and she often wears brightly coloured clothes also. An example of this is in one of the screenshots below. The other screenshot demonstrates one of the bleak, desaturated environments in which the character is apart from the girl; life for him is bland and somber.
