Aescripts – CHROMA v1.3

CHR0MA is a replacement for Hue/Saturation that uses Oklab color science. It has an improved layout and creates better results.

CHR0MA is a color-grading plugin for Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere Pro that replaces the standard Hue/Saturation workflow using the Oklab color model. The idea is to preserve perceived brightness and avoid muddy or overly neon color shifts when adjusting hue and saturation.  

Key points:

• Uses Oklab/Oklch color science instead of standard sRGB adjustments
• Designed for cleaner hue rotation and saturation changes
• Open source
• “Name Your Own Price” licensing for individuals
• Works with AE and Premiere versions from CC 2017 through 2026

The plugin is positioned as:

“Hue/Saturation but better”

Why people care about Oklab:

• Traditional hue shifting in AE can flatten contrast or create ugly artifacts
• Oklab tries to align more closely with human visual perception
• You get more natural gradients and more stable luminance during color transformations
