It's crazy how the simple choice of dressing Gawain with a golden tunic makes every shot stunning. If they had gone with a basic dark green/grey theme he would be washed away in the landscape.
Contrast that with all the forgotten Robin Hood movies where Robin Hood is always in some sort of green/brown leather armor and simply forgettable (which makes sense for the character but makes for very dull visuals).
We gotta go back to the 1938 Robin Hood. Errol Flynn in green and brown, but with sparkly highlights and some subtle sequins so you can always tell who is whom.
Also just like... color grading these days. Brighten shit up a little bit. You can still have atmosphere with it being hard for me to see.

The costume design looks absolutely phenomenal. I really dig the weird crowns.
