  • I'm aware of the practice. The article doesn't discuss why tinting was used in this particular instance, and the purple seems quite vibrant (especially contrasted with the B&W) — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:45, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It's a language of early film we don't have anymore. It's probably meant to emphasise the femininity of her dressing room or something. It's cruder, but not much weirder than those extreme orange/blue palettes that were huge 10 years ago and will look odd in twenty years. Support as it's a very high resolution copy, very sharp, very good, and it's in an article about itself. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 06:27, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
