The lighting in the real world was gloomy, dull, boring, and quite lifeless. The real world isn't really a place you want to be in, the lighting and colours used in the scenes are quite sad and cold and it definitely looks quite uncomfortable because the house looks run down and old.
The colours in the real world have a grey colour palette and it makes the place look cold instead of warm. The real world doesn't really seem like a very inviting and safe place to be in. The directors probably did this to show how much The real world and the other world contrast each other based on lighting and colour itself.
The Other World (Good):
The lighting in the other world is really warm and inviting, it really does contrast from the grey and gloomy real world. The lighting wasn't bright and still had parts that were in shadows. Everything did look bright and beautiful and it definitely is a place someone wants to be in. Compared to the house in the real world, the house in the other world looks new and welcoming.
The colour palette of the other world was warm and it wasn't really bright because there was still some spaces that were dark and shadowy, but despite having such a dark and slightly creepy appearance, the other colours made everything look warm, bright and welcoming.
The Other World (Bad):
The lighting in the other world when the other mother finally revealed true self to Coraline had such a creepy atmosphere and the lighting made it even scarier. The light had a green tone but it was dark as well, this just made the scene look like it came out of a horror movie. Although the other mother was wearing something that was all black, she still stood out in the green light.
The colours that were used had a purple and orange tone which made the room look quite warm but still scary. The colours that were used made it look like the whole place was unsafe because everything was dark but still was full of colour but it definitely looked like a place no one would want to be in. This created such a huge contrast from the innocent look of the other world where the other mother still didn't reveal her true self to Coraline.
