Netflix's Avatar adaptation has its own amount of faults, but one thing I've really noticed is the beautiful use of color.
Most notably, while it is stated a few times that Aang is everyone's hope for the war to end it is also constantly shown through the cold and washed out tones of many of the scenes. These cold colors reflect the hopelessness that the rest of the world is feeling in a war torn environment. And amongst this bleakness Aang's vibrant clothing shines brightly, like a lamp in a dark room. His warm color palette LITERALLY shows him as a beacon of light and hope.
I wish they kept more of his vibrant, childish personality from the original to really make thus difference pop. However, the way they frame him in the center of the screen in many of his scenes presents some beautiful imagery that I wished people would acknowledge more.
I also want to note that the only time Aang matches his environment is when he's with Gyatso.
