Making Your Color Scheme a Whole Lot Kuler!

This tutorial was originally posted in October 2009 and we thought we’d jump back into the archives here for “Color Grading Week” to take a look at this handy script from Mathias Möhl.

Adobe Kuler is a great resource for color themes that is perfectly integrated in all Adobe CS4 software – except for After Effects. But this has changed now. In this tutorial, Mathias Möhl shows how you can use his brand-new script “Chameleon – The Adobe Kuler Color Theme Browser” to work with Kuler color themes in After Effects. Apply a new color theme with just one click and all colors of your composition update automatically.

… just so you know, the new version (2.0) of Chameleon has some features not shown in the tutorial:

• ability to link to themes of other comps (i.g. precomps can use the color theme of their parent comps instead of having their own)
• support of large color themes
• ability to load set of default color themes on start-up
• reset for brightness slider
