The color in the two shows are very different. A Pup named Scooby Doo uses much darker, and earthier tones. Lots of green and Brown. Also, when blue is used in this still it's usually a darker blue. Even Scooby's name tag is slightly a darker blue. In general the Hue of Scooby uses lots of Green, and Brown. Hue's in the Simpsons are based off yellow and blue. The Simpsons's colors are much brighter. Having yellow skin shows off easier and is obviously brighter than Scooby's brown fir. Even the Simpson's shadows are a light shade of black on top of the blue walls. Comparing the two dogs from each photo you can see that Santa's Little Helper is a much lighter brown. The saturation of these two pieces are almost the exact opposite of each other.
The Lighting in these Stills are also very different. The Shadowing in the Simpson's are very light and bright. The Simpson's have a very bright blue based shadow which shows off the difference in type of show. The Simpson's show is comedy so it's bright. Scooby as a pup is a mystery and therefore the shadow at the top of the Still is much darker shadow than anything in the Simpson still. Which leads into an explanation of the symbolizing with the lighting. The Simpson's is light and funny and care free. So the light lighting shows off that kind of mood. Scooby Doo is solving a mystery and there's a monster somewhere around, and despite it being a comedy it still has that aspect of the story and therefore the shadowing is more based on the mystery side of the story. However, Scooby doesn't use black and red like normal mysteries. By using earthy colors, a more friendly mood is created. Using dark shadowing the mystery/monster aspect of the show is presented, and the earthy friend tones show off the comedy and for kid aspects of the show. The Simpson's use light colors to show it's a fun comedy for everyone.
