Ok, so you have carefully crafted the color palette for your project.

All your color woes are now over right?

Well, usually no.

Clients can change their minds.

Or in After Effects problems cab arise when using the color picker over and over again.

This is where a tool called Ray Dynamic Color 2 created by the very talented Sander van Dijk may come in handy.

Although I might be a bit late to the party I am excited to explore this color tool and begin with how to get started.

What do you need to know?

Color can get complicated in After Effects quite quickly especially if you have a largescale project or are collaborating on a project.

This is where Ray Dynamic Color can come to the rescue and effectively organize and manage how you use color in your After Effects projects.

How it works:
All the elements share the same color reference from one main color source.
