Im Vergleich
Colour correction is a technical process that makes footage look accurate and consistent. Colour grading is a creative process that makes footage look intentional and stylised. Both are essential parts of a professional workflow, but they serve fundamentally different purposes and always occur in this order: correction first, grading second.

If colour correction is tuning a piano, colour grading is composing the music you play on it. Correction ensures everything is working properly and in agreement; grading is where the emotional and artistic character of the piece is established.
Profi-Tipp
When using AI-generated video alongside live footage, establish your colour grade on the live footage first, then use a reference frame from that footage as a target when grading the AI-generated sequences. This makes matching the two sources significantly faster and more consistent.
Arten und Varianten
- Colour grading spans a wide range of styles and approaches.
- Warm grading pushes shadows and midtones toward amber and orange tones to create a nostalgic, inviting, or romantic atmosphere.
- Cool grading shifts tones toward blue and cyan to suggest clinical distance, tension, or coldness.
- The teal and orange grade, one of the most recognisable commercial looks, creates contrast between cool environments and warm skin tones.
- Bleach bypass desaturates colour while boosting contrast, referencing a classical photochemical effect.
- Day-for-night grading converts daylight footage to simulate night.
- Period grading uses colour choices to suggest a specific historical era.
- Each of these approaches can be created from scratch in grading software or approximated using LUTs.

- Colour grading is applied in every form of professional video production, from feature films and streaming series to advertising, music videos, and social media content.
- It is used to reinforce genre conventions: horror films tend toward desaturated cool palettes, romantic comedies favour warm golden tones, science fiction often employs cool blues and steely greys.
- Brand identity also drives grading decisions in advertising, where consistent colour treatment reinforces visual recognition across campaigns.
- In AI-assisted workflows, grading can be prompted for during generation and then refined in post, or applied entirely in post-production as a finishing step over generated content.
