It’s an interesting artifact.

Can’t say much beyond that. Four colors can only stay novel for so long. And unfortunately that length is not even the length of this clip.

u saying 4 colors is interesting because surely there are thousands

what does that mean? they used 4 colors of the rainbow?

take the green grass 4 example that uses lots of different colour greens doesn’t it

anyway i might make my own version and raise the saturation maybe or make the zombies a dark green/greyish colour :O)

It was also remade as a color film. “The horror…”

Colorized films: the cinematic equivalent of a child drawing on the screen with crayons.

@ "anyway i might make my own version and raise the saturation maybe or make the zombies a dark green/greyish colour :O) "

You should… I guess some folks did already. I believe Romero and his group, to this day have yet to resolve the four-decade long copyright issue with this film so most likely it’s still considered public domain of some sort.

What I expressed in a humorous, slightly exaggerated fashion is that the colorization process, such as the one seen here, seems to display very little diversity of tone, and seems to simply repeat a very limited number of shades.
