8.3 Color Grading

Color grading is the process of adjusting and enhancing the color properties of the final footage to refine the mood, create consistency, and improve the visual impact of the animation.

Color Adjustments: Fine-tuning brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue for a visually pleasing and cohesive look.
Mood Refinement: Using specific color palettes to reinforce emotional atmosphere — warm hues for comfort, cool tones for tension.
Consistency: Maintaining a consistent color palette across scenes even as lighting conditions and environments change.
