Daniel Lichten
Filmmaker & Creator
"I now use 3 instead of 16 nodes in Resolve and the results are SO much better. Honestly didn't expect it but I'm super impressed with this tool and how it works."
Julio Assis
Cinematographer
"I'm kind of mind blown by this app. The way it works on the color spectrum and density is so much better than Resolve or Premiere. I use it to build looks for scenes and send them to my editor - total game changer."
Aaron Kessler
Filmmaker
"After trying it out for a few short hours I knew Color.io was the tool I always wanted - it's the look that I've been trying to get for years."
Philip Vivarelli

"I’m blown away that these tools are missing in Davinci Resolve. I will definitely recommend Color.io to my colorist friends!"
Steve Tanaka
Director of Photography
"Color.io is actually pretty insane. Saturation just stays super clean even when I push much further than I would with other tools. Wow!"

Exceptional color. On set and in post.
Easily create high fidelity show looks and custom film emulations that truly push the gamut - without breaking the image. Color.io is powered by an analog color engine that has been written from the ground up for exceptional color stability and smoothness*. Create stunning ACES color managed 3D LUTs for over 20 applications, cameras and monitors for seamless integration into your existing on-set and post workflows.
Color.io is not just another film emulation plugin. It's a standalone app where every control is driven by an engine that models the non-linear light response of film. The result is better looking images with deep, painterly colors that hardly ever break, even when you push it to the extreme.
Native ACES © HDR compliant color management enables cutting-edge color that looks and behaves the same everywhere. Any look you create with Color.io automatically works for current and future cameras, monitors and most third party software. ACES in Color.io is easy and powerful.
Build looks from scratch or fully customize any aspect of the included film emulations to match your unique taste and vision. Seamlessly share editable presets you create with color.io as a single link or export color managed LUTs into your favorite applications for color managed workflows.
