A walkthrough of the Color page inside After Effects: a grade on your own frame, its LUT, a gradient background and a contrast check on a title.

Everything on the Color page.

The colour work that usually happens in three other places: picking a grade, building a background, choosing colours that hold up. Your saved colours follow you into every picker in Hextion.

Color › Grades

21+ grades, previewed on your own frame.

Preview each grade on a sample photo or on a frame from your comp, then apply it as an adjustment layer you can fade or mask.

Every grade also comes as a .cube LUT, so the same look carries over to Premiere Pro.

Color > Check: contrast and colour-blindness checks.

Color › Check

Color > Gradients: random gradients, styles and shape cuts drawn live.

Color › Gradients

Press Random until you like one.

The gradient maker throws a new gradient every time you press Random, in several styles with grain, blur, warp and flow.

Cut it to a shape, step back through the history, fine-tune it in the editor, and add it to your comp as one editable layer.
