* ''Series/{{Rosewood}}'': The series takes place in Miami, a city with a very warm climate. The second season was shot through a warm yellow filter.

* During the 2022 World Cup, [[https://www.reddit.com/r/memes/comments/z1nk0v/poland_vs_mexico/ a meme about the Poland vs. Mexico game]] parodied the UnnaturallyBlueLighting[=/=]BlueMeansCold filter used in media set in Eastern Europe, and the yellow filter used in media set in Mexico, with each team's half of the field having different palettes.

In RealLife, hot places are not usually the color of straw or turmeric, although air pollution does occasionally make the air look oddly colored.

* Appears rather jarringly for just one scene in ''Film/ThePredator''. The beginning of the film is set in Mexico, but initially takes place at night and [[HollywoodNight has a blue tint]]. This is followed by one scene set taking place the next day, which abruptly brings in the heavy yellow tint typical for Hollywood movies set in Mexico during the daytime, after which the story moves to the United States and the tint promptly disappears.

* A lot of the film ''Film/{{Traffic}}'' is set in Mexico, and it is suitably golden-tinted. In contrast, scenes with the Ohio native protagonist are washed with blue.

* ''VideoGame/GrandeTheftAutoSanAndreas'' uses a tonemap biased towards orange for hotter locations in the map such as [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles Los Santos]] and the deserts of Bone County; this only disappears when the weather turns rainy. By contrast, forested countrysides and [[UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco San Fierro]] use a blue-green tonemap to imply lower temperatures.

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': A scene is set in the deserts of New Mexico if it is fairly straw-colored compared to the rest of the show; the yellow or orange color deepens in scenes actually set in Mexico.

When a work made and largely set in a temperate location sends its characters to a hotter place like a desert or an equatorial country, this will be visually signified by a notably warmer ColorWash, usually in yellow or orange. This is a sort of off-putting "othering" that helps establish the new setting as sunny and hot, and in cases of desert settings, dry and dusty. It can also help to enhance the vibrant colors in the new setting. Because of the similarity to sepia tones widespread in westerns, or PeriodPieces, it can also make the setting seem [[DecadeThemedFilter old-timey]]. However, yellow in particular can evoke feelings of [[ColorMotif illness and jaundice]], so this may have the additional effect of the new setting looking poor, dirty, grimy, and polluted, especially if contrasting scenes set in colder locations are colored naturally or with cooler tones. SunshineNoir is one genre that might make use of this.

* In the 2021 Egyptian movie ''Al Aref'' (''Film/The Knower''), whenever the movie shifts to show religious figures (who commonly get portrayed as narrow-minded extremists in Arab media) in rural areas, or to scenes of the deserts of Western Sahara, they suddenly have a yellowish tint in a movie that mostly has a muted grey and green color scheme.

* ''Film/MagicMike'', set in Tampa, FL, uses a bright warm yellow for the outdoor, daytime scenes. By contrast, nighttime and strip club scenes are darker and neutral-to-purple.

* ''Series/TheWhiteLotus'', set in a Hawaiian beachside resort, has a noticeable yellow filter over its scenes, emphasizing the heat and societal ills simmering among the characters.

Subtrope of ColorWash. Compare OrangeBlueContrast, with which this can overlap if scenes set in cooler locations are [[BlueMeansCold suitably cooler-toned]], and UnnaturallyBlueLighting, when blue lighting makes a scene look bleak.
