Persona

Color shift divides the colour wheel into six bands and adjusts each one on its own. When you want the red of a costume pushed toward orange, the cyan of a background muted, or the magenta of a hairstyle lifted, while everything else stays exactly as it was, this is the effect

It is the equivalent of Lightroom's HSL panel or Resolve's hue curves, applied to the finished frame rather than to any one material

Color Band

Color Band decides which range the four sliders below are editing:

All six carry a full set of the four controls, and switching bands changes what you are editing without discarding anything already dialled in. Neighbouring bands blend smoothly, so no hard seam appears at a colour boundary

Controls

All four default to 0, meaning the band passes through untouched. With every band at its defaults, color shift changes no pixel

Luminance Saturation is the least obvious of the four: it decides whether this band's saturation tracks its brightness. Positive values make bright areas more saturated and dark areas greyer; negative values do the reverse. Use it to rein in colour that overshoots in highlights, or to stop shadows from going flat and grey

Common Uses

Skin is the usual case: select Red, ease Saturation down slightly and Luminance up slightly, and skin tones clean up while costume and background stay put

For a stylised grade, rotate the Hue of only one or two bands — push Cyan toward blue and Yellow toward green for the teal-and-orange cinematic look, with skin staying natural because it lives in the Red band

Processing Order

Color shift runs after color wheels and before select colors, all within the colour block that follows bloom and diffusion
