Unless, of course, we finally find that Bond was courted and recruited at a young age because of his early ties to the Oberhausers. Then, thematically and dramatically, this will all start to make sense.
The themes of the DC era are really about determinism and duality. Both of these come to the fore with Madeleine. In the bedroom scene, she says to him, "There are two of you. Two Jameses." That is not a throwaway line. Neither is the part in the dinner car when Bond says he never really had a "choice" in terms of his life. She disagrees.
I am perfectly fine with a deep dive, in this regard.
-QoS: probably my favorite color palette. Vibrant and natural looking. Sadly you miss it, if you blink.
-SF: Heavily graded in some parts (teal: Skyfall mansion exterior; orange: the casino). Great overall palette. Deakins framing and use of cove light probably makes SF the most pleasing to look at, IMO.
-SP: On paper this could have been the most wonderful looking, but all vibrance was pulled out of the Mexico-scenes, the snow in Austia looked more green than white, the exterior Morroco-scenes, like the Mexico-scenes, lacked punch, and too many scenes have shadows lifted too high, IMO. A mess.
- NTTD: Back to the teal and orange look it seems.
Ah.... can't argue with that :P
A personal theory I’ve had for ages is that Dench’s M, before she became M, had been keeping an eye on what became Spectre for ages, which got her to seek Bond out for recruitment
EDIT: You are right. The grading is different (!)
Original trailer:
TV spot:
Interesting. Very interesting.
Haven’t had a chance yet to click through your article but Mad Max: Fury Road comes to mind instantly. Maybe it’s Hollywood trickery but man that movie was gorgeous both in black and white and in vivid colour.
Exactly.
This is the tv spot vs trailer:
Of course, but it's the producers who hired directors and cinematographers who are more artistically inclined than before. That's what I meant.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Guess they had a change of heart luckily, judging from the new TV spot, where the white mask is in fact white, and not teal like in the original trailer. More of that.
The current grading is much better.

I do think Spectre looked awful though in the colour department.
Such a phenomenal image.
That's not the DB5 in cuba they all drive 50s cars it's a classic car.
Yeah we know she’s CIA so it makes sense.
Yeah people still think she is a baddie I think not. I think Felix dies and then Bond joins up with her.
