Marathi Paithani green: rich silk greens and peacock blues

Greens and peacock blues of nauvari and Paithani silk lead, gold borders stay bright, the pearl mundavalya keeps its shine and reds stay true.

One of the six looks made for Indian weddings, region by region. You choose it per project; CullTone never picks it from the people in the frame.

Drag to compare. Left of the line is True to camera, the plainest look; right of it is Marathi Paithani green at full strength, rendered from the same file.

What it doesDeep bottle-green and peacock colour, pink borders, firm contrast
Good forMarathi weddings, haldi and antarpat

When we'd reach for it

Marathi Hindu weddings in Maharashtra and abroad, haldi and the antarpat ceremony.

When we wouldn't

Red-heavy decor where green is a minor note. Bengali red & white or Tamil silk and jasmine suit those better.

The recipe

These are the settings stored in the look, drawn rather than listed. They sit on top of your camera's own colour and the exposure and white balance CullTone sets for each photo, so the same look lands a little differently on every frame.

Tone curve Dashed line: no change. Points are where the look bends the curve.
Colour grading Dark dot: the tint in the shadows. Light dot: the tint in the highlights. Further from the centre means stronger.
  • Exposureless
  • Contrastmore
  • Highlightsless
  • Shadowsmore
  • Warmthmore
  • Vibrancemore
SlidersEach bar starts at the centre: right means more, left means less. The scale is CullTone's own, so it doesn't map one to one onto Lightroom's sliders.

Every look has a strength from 0 to 1.5. At 0 you get the plain camera-matched edit, at 1 the look as drawn here, and above 1 more of everything it does. More on reading curves in tone curves for photographers.
