METALLICA SELF LOVE

The Metallica Self Love palette from Ariana Grande’s, 34+35 music video is composed of 6 different colors: Gray Chateau, Cadet Blue, Blue Bayoux, Fiord, Black Pearl, and Woodsmoke. The main color highlighted in this palette is Fiord. With such a monotone use of colors one may be dampened by this palette, but let me reassure you it’s the opposite. Dark grays and blues such as Fiord and the other represent control and maturity, why else would Ariana choose to represent herself as a robot! To show that SHE, not her emotions or anyone for that matter is in control on her own life.
