* Viagra adopted a turquoise filter for their print, television, and online advertisements. Initially, this was subtle, enough that it was hard to notice unless comparing the advertisement side-by-side with something else. As time went on, this turquoise grew increasingly pronounced until, by the mid-2010s, everything was a shade of medium to dark turquoise, as if multiple sheets of turquoise gel were placed over the lens.

* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', the Twilight Realm was initially designed as [[DeliberatelyMonochrome grayscale]] with some splashes of color. However, the design later changed to an incredibly hyper-saturated color scheme, with gold, brown and magenta being the most prominent colors. Most praised the new design, citing it as more original and evocative of a creepy, alien twilight world.
** Used to a lesser extent with normal-Hyrule, which has a faint yellowish tint to most things.
* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' uses different color grading in different areas. The difference is sometimes very noticeable; for instance, Ghostlands looks very different when you're looking in from Zul'Aman than when you're inside and the darker color grade takes hold. It's sometimes so strong (particular with red colored areas like Durotar) that it takes a while for eyes to readjust to another color when changing zones.

Since San Andreas is a huge state with contrasting environments, there's a color wash scheme that differs from place to place. [[UsefulNotes/LosAngeles Los Santos]] is orange-ish with heat hazes; [[UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco San Fierro]] has [[UnnaturallyBlueLighting unnaturally teal lighting]] to convey a mild-to-cold atmosphere, reinforced by the city's constant fog; [[VivaLasVegas Las Venturas]] goes for a less blatant color scheme, but with a dash of yellow to convey the desert's hot weather; the forested countrysides of Red and Flint Counties have a pastel green/brown tint to them; and finally, the deserts of Bone County take it further, with bright white sand and yellow skies that turn purple at night. All of this is much more pronounced in the [=PS2=] version; later versions such as the PC port toned it down for a more sober, less in-your-face look, but it's definitely noticeable, especially when the sun is setting.

For example, ''VideoGame/{{Alleyway}}'' used a primarily lavender and yellow palette, ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'' used a reddish-pink palette, and ''VideoGame/MetroidIIReturnOfSamus'' used a near-psychedelic red, green and yellow palette.

* The NES games on the Wii's UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole have a filter that not only darkens the screen, but also darkens the colors. This was supposed to emulate the way NES games would look when displayed on a 1980s TV set, but it makes the games look like someone put a gray film over the screen. Ports of the NES games plus emulators don't use this feature, which makes the games look brighter and more colorful by comparison.

This trope applies to films, TV series, video clips and graphics.
So the director/director of photography/production designer thought it would be a good idea to do something fancy to the colors, like saturating them so everything looks more vivid than normal. More often than not, [[OrangeBlueContrast this means making skin appear orange-y and everything else teal]]. Another example would be shifting the entire color palette, making (almost) everything appear a certain color. Color wash is usually done in post-production on "naturally" shot footage, but some directors use physical filters on the camera either as a stylistic choice or due to technical constraints of a particular shot.
SuperTrope to WarmPlaceWarmLighting, where this is used to denote a hot setting. Compare with tropes such as RealIsBrown, UnnaturallyBlueLighting, DeliberatelyMonochrome and SplashOfColor. The difference between those tropes and Color Wash is that (a) the film uses both, or (b) uses another type of visual trick entirely, such as cranking up the saturation of the colors. See also MoodLighting, [[PostProcessingVideoEffects Post Processing]], and ColorContrast. Often used to signal a {{flashback|Effects}}. OrangeBlueContrast is a common result.

* ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
** ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' recycles a lot of demon artwork from the mainline ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series, and splashes it with a desaturated gray filter to match the rest of the game's rather-dreary, muted color palette.
** During ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}} Royal'''s third semester, there is a noticeable gray filter over most of the outside areas of Tokyo to represent the chill of winter. During snowy days, interiors get hit with the gray wash too.
