About Color Llama
Color Llama adds a color‑pairing workflow to After Effects and Premiere Pro (2024‑2026). Users define a swatch color and a target color, then adjust the target’s hue, saturation, lightness and alpha via on‑screen handles. The plugin offers two style settings—Change Color to offset colors and Replace Color to substitute them—plus three blend modes: Smooth for gradual transitions, Sharp for keying work such as greenscreen or bluescreen, and Posterized for abrupt changes. A LUT Softness control blends target colors in 3D space, and a Show Original Colors toggle (Shift+R) lets users compare before and after states. When finished, Export LUT writes a 65×65×65 Cube LUT file, compatible with most major video and animation applications. The latest version is 1.0.1, updated September 30, 2025.
