Color grading is a post-production process in film and video editing where colorists adjust the color, contrast, and tone of footage to achieve a specific look or mood, correcting inconsistencies between shots and enhancing visual storytelling. It is performed using software like DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, or Baselight, typically by professional colorists working alongside directors and cinematographers. The craft blends technical color science with artistic judgment to give a film or show its distinctive visual identity.
