Color Theory

I had several images I took at San Francisco that I wanted to do some color grading for, but I decided to choose the Chinatown Subway Station. This station looked relatively new and also looks pretty futuristic compared to most American metro stations, so I wanted to color grade it to make it have a cyberpunk style. To do this, I made the lighting have more of a luminant blue color and make it have a complementary color relationship with the orange-yellow borderline on the platform. I’m not the best at color grading, but I feel like this is a good starting point, and I’ll go around to ask for some tips and potentially make a new edit of this.
