I read several years ago that Ford referenced the palettes of Charles M. Russell and Frederick Remington, the original cowboy artists, in his color Westerns.

As the guy who jumped off the 20-story building shouted as he passed the 10th Floor "So far..so good!"

...and those colors were definitely heightened, not realistic (particularly Remington who had a tip toward brightly lit orange and golden tones contrasted with blues and violets).

That's what I see in BD captures of The Searchers, and while it may not be precisely true to life, it does seem true to the director's intent.

Thanks for reminding me.
