    Not necessarily color theory, but archived comics from the 1970s and prior tend to be yellowed from degradation on their original prints (which were then scanned). It could also be the colors available to print artists at the time which were more muted compared to today.

      Although it really only happened recently. If you look at older generated images, they don’t have the yellow colouration.
