LomoChrome Turquoise is a variable-ISO (100-400) C-41 false-colour negative that shifts the palette toward cool teals and turquoise. Reds turn green, blues turn orange and yellows shift toward blue, producing an icy, aquatic look that is the cool-toned sibling of LomoChrome Purple.
Character & look
LomoChrome Turquoise remaps colours in the opposite direction to warm expectation: reds and oranges drift toward green and yellow, blue skies can warm to orange, and greens and neutrals take on a turquoise wash. Skin tones become cool and slightly alien, which makes it a striking creative choice rather than a naturalistic one. It is a flexible ISO 100-400 emulsion, and rating it lower yields more saturated, aquamarine results while higher ratings soften the shift. Grain is moderate and it develops in ordinary C-41 chemistry at any lab. It shines on bright days with strong colour contrast, in seascapes and urban scenes, delivering a cold, cinematic mood that pairs well with water, glass and sky.

Shooting & development tips
Expose at EI 100-200 for the most intense turquoise; scenes with reds and blues show the swap most dramatically. Standard C-41 development works, so any colour lab can process it.
