- Teal & Orange Dominance: Skin tones lean toward a creamy, desaturated orange/gold, while shadows shift to a deep, dusty teal or navy.
- Soft Mids & Defined Contrast: Unlike the flat "faded" look, Chingliu retains punchy contrast in the midtones while keeping highlights soft.
- Desaturated Vibrancy: Colors are rich but not "loud." Red lips might look burgundy, and green grass looks olive.
- Grain & Texture: A fine, analog-style grain is almost always present to remove the digital "sterility."
