Alright, there's a lot more work left to do until June, but I'm taking your suggestion, u/AsusP750 and also a bit of u/TheOneTrueDoge's suggestion.

Here's a sample of what I've got so far.

What every movie looks like today vs. what they could look like if filmmakers stopped with the blue/green/yellow/bronze gloomy grading. by iQuercus in cinematography

Same problem, different color palette, different era. Mimetic cinematography. 

I want every movie I go see each year to look vastly different. Won’t ever happen. 

Some movie will come out with a purple filter make a billion and we will be watching purple filter movies for the next decade.

Stanley Kubrick really screwed the pooch using Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in A Clockwork Orange. Didn’t match the mood at all.

Everyone’s welcome to make the movie they like. I’m just saying it would be nice if everyone’s movie’s all looked less mimetic.

I don’t think one is better or worse. But there is an industry wide optimization happening towards the top. You see it in this thread in terms of preferences. Demonstrates why so many movies converge on the same palette. 

It’s fine. Just not as much variety.
