Newton Thomas Sigel gave Drive a look that splits between warm golden daytime Los Angeles and an electric neon nightscape. Night sequences are defined by their color sources: pink and blue neon signs, orange sodium streetlights, green dashboard glow. Sigel underexposed deliberately, letting neon become the dominant light and faces fall into partial shadow.
