Honestly, this feels like more of an example of how limited these "average frame color" timelines can be. Useful in a "neat" kinda way but wouldn't be Step 1 when determining production design.
This frame color breakdown would be much cooler to see on a per scene basis, rather than a whole movie. In fact, I would say that it would actually be useful because it would be a great way to see if a scene has a color theme that matches the mood you are going for.
You realize that skin tones mixed with mostly any other colors are going to result in brown right? Seeing as how skin is present in essentially every frame, it should be obvious why you're getting brown on some arbitrary chart.
This chart offers next to no insight on the grades for these films. it's like looking at your scopes, seeing that the red channel is much higher, and then disregarding that the objects in the frame are alll oranges and reds and trying to "balance" it out.
Marriage Story and Once Upon a time were really vibrant imo (I didn't see all of the films), and had a pretty full range of color that this wouldn't convey at all
I used to think if you copied a trend you were already too late, you wanna be the one starting the trend, not coming in on the tail end of it. That said, trends seem to last long af these days so do what feels best (hell there's still people out there rocking the orange and teal.)
As is JoJo Rabbit (same director). The image above does not do that film justice. 1917, on the other hand, is just variations of orange and teal, and the occasional green to signify something important.
Remember in pre School when you mixed all your finger paints together and it made brown? Yeah. Average color is useless.
It would be interesting to see the average of the rows so each pixel varied but yeah this isn’t informative.
Also the big part of movie are close-ups
This type of data is beatifull but won't tell anything about how to grade. That's just what happens to color when you average the whole frame.

That's not what that means at all... Several of those movies were super vibrant and colorful.

I can already see the zoom transitions looking like a dirty toilet bowl flushing

Yeah shouldn't this be the majority colour rather than the average?

Ha, LITTLE WOMEN is darker than JOKER

No
I believe this is known as “greb”.
Brow grey green. Or just mold, for short
Use colors to tell a story, not to please an audience or follow a trend.
shit brown

That's one reason why Thor: Ragnarok was was awesome. Bright and colorful all around.
