Subject: '70s photos
Written By: Wiz83 on 12/30/09 at 10:17 pm
Does anyone notice that family photos from the '70s, especially late '70s, have an orange-reddish tint to them? That's how my mom's old photos from that time period look. Because of this, I always associate the '70s with the colors orange and brown.

Yup, for example
My grandp in July 1972:

And again, from left my grandpa (1920-1975), his brother John (1910-1979) and his brother Francis (1912-1975) and in August 1973. Note their attire!:

Yeah, I attribute it to a combination of 70's camera technology and aging photo medium.
Regarding the colors orange and brown, those colors were popular in the 70's - especially home decor - and of course people wore them too.
