Since my portfolio theme is Gothic Fairytale. Scenery and backgrounds play a significant part in creating the mood...
Typical fairytale sceneries are set in either meadows or enchanted forests. Such landscapes are usually colourful and flowery and gives a ind of other worldy feel as if you've taken a step into fairyland.
But however, in a Gothic environment, sceneries tend to be more dark and gloomy with minimal use of bright colors. These colors are often monotonous. The colorful and vibrant scenery images shown above can be saturated to resemble dark sceneries as shown below.
It is not always necessary to apply monotonous colors to bring out the gloominess of a Gothic environment. Sure, bright colors can be used to highlight magic, but the idea of Goth itself is already a mystery and quite magical too. Hence, in this case, if non-monotonous colors were to be used, the colours can be saturated for lower contrast as demonstrated below.
