Colors of Colombo

Columbo's charm lies in his ability to blend into his surroundings, making his moments of brilliance all the more surprising. the same could be said of the 'colors of Columbo': it’s a landscape of shades so low-key, so modest, they barely seem to notice they’re there., these colours are a study in restraint, in subterfuge, in the way something so understated can speak volumes. the muted tones of observation, the palette of the underdog, the detective who is never rushed, but always gets his man or woman, eventually. The beige takes down the pink and yellow …these muted "colors" represent something deeper: the idea that Columbo, as a detective, is all about subtlety and a light touch rather than extravagant flair. His style is un flashy, and these colors  reflect the unglamorous, humble life aesthetic
