🟩 Colour change

Colour change

Changes the colours of all incoming content. You can either set fixed HSB values, or switch to the gradient system and sample colours from a custom gradient.

  • hue, saturation, brightness - the colour values, see Colour Settings And Hsb
  • hue mode -
    • OFF - the hue isn't changed
    • FIXED - the hue of elements is set to the hue value
    • SHIFT - the hue of elements is offset by the value, so different coloured elements will remain different, but just be shifted along the hue value.
  • saturation mode -
    • OFF - saturation isn't changed
    • FIXED - saturation is fixed at the specified value.
  • brightness mode -
    • OFF - brightness isn't changed
    • FIXED - brightness of elements is set to the brightness value
    • MULTIPLY - brightness of elements is combined with the brightness value, so if they're flashing they'll still flash, but only up to the brightness specified here.
  • gradient mode - switches from the fixed HSB sliders to the gradient editor. The node samples one colour from the gradient and then applies it using the hue, saturation and brightness modes above.
  • gradient position - chooses which point in the gradient is sampled. Animate this from 0% to 100% with a Sawtooth Oscillator to cycle through the gradient over time.
  • blend - how strongly the colour changer is applied, 0% is not at all, 100% is full, and 50% is a combination of the existing colour and the new values.

Gradient editor

When gradient mode is on, the gradient editor appears below the main controls.

  • Click the gradient bar to add a colour stop.
  • Left-click a stop to select it, then drag it sideways to move it.
  • Drag a selected stop down away from the bar, or press Delete/Backspace, to remove it. A gradient always keeps at least two stops.
  • Right-click a stop to edit it with the colour picker.
  • Use Position, Hue, Saturation and Brightness to edit the selected stop precisely.
  • interpolation chooses how colours are blended between stops:
    • HSB - blends hue, saturation and brightness. This is best for smooth rainbow-style movement around the colour wheel.
    • RGB - blends red, green and blue values directly. This often feels more like a screen or lighting console colour fade.
    • NONE - jumps from one stop to the next with no blend.
  • hue direction is available in HSB interpolation:
    • AUTO - takes the shortest route around the hue wheel.
    • FORWARDS - always travels forwards through hue values.
    • BACKWARDS - always travels backwards through hue values.
