Default How to achieve this ___ colour look

Hi

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, its about technique but i'm too visually illiterate to verbalise what look it is that i actually want to achieve in my portraits.

The best examples are in the works of Nicola Kuperus
http://www.nicolakuperus.com/code/photographs.htm
and some of Aline Smithson's portraits
http://alinesmithson.com/portfolios/hollywood-at-home/

Content aside, to get that flatness* (?) in the colours, is it just an issue of choosing the right film stock? I know Kuperus shoots and prints her own work, and from what i've seen doesn't use any additional lighting. Or is it just a simple combination of film emulsion and props. Could someone describe the colour effect in more technical terms?

*where colours seem both bright and dull at the same time, or is this just me?

cheers
