The lookWhy this one earns a slot

Eterna, labelled Cinema, mimics motion-picture film with low saturation and soft, rolled-off contrast. The result is a muted, cinematic palette that grades well and suits video, moody stills and understated colour recipes. It earns a custom slot for cinema, muted and video.
