Film recipes with muted, reduced colour
This page is for the film recipes that help you capture a softer look with faded tones and lower saturation. They span a range of film simulations and colour balances, with the common feature being a reduced colour saturation.
A step on from soft tones, these muted tone recipes go further in pulling back the colour saturation, often combining reduced colour with lifted shadows and a flatter tone curve for an understated, sophisticated look.
Forty muted tones recipes selected from the complete library, including recipes from both the site and the Film Recipes App. The ordering reflects user favouriting data from within the app alongside a scoring for how specifically each recipe delivers on the muted tones brief.
