One of my favorite TV series for using light and palette cues that way is the 1980s series, "Beauty and the Beast." The world above where Catherine lived was always gray and blue and cool colors. She herself pretty much stuck to that palette in her clothing, too. The world below, Vincent's world, was always red and brown--all warm colors and candlelight. It was, in some sense, a character in the series.
My feeling has been that I want the city in the book to give the impression of having its own secret life as a result of the incursion of magic into a formerly unmagical place. This is still a relatively fresh idea to me, the articulation of something that, until now, has been a pretty unformed idea. I've begun to have ideas about how I want to do it, and I think I'm getting there, little by little. We'll see.
