The Mexican filter, or Mexico filter, is a yellow-colored or sepia filter or overly warm color grade that is sometimes employed in films and television productions to visually represent scenes set in hot, arid areas, often countries such as Mexico, as well as other Latin American and South Asian countries. It has been criticized for tending to wash out the faces of people with darker skin, and for stereotyping the countries it depicts.
