About Ray Dynamic Color 2

Ray Dynamic Color 2, developed by Sander van Dijk, provides a dedicated color‑palette panel for After Effects. The plugin lets users apply colors from a palette to a composition with a single click, extract existing colors back into the palette, and edit those colors afterward, with optional expression links. It supports individual handling of shape layer strokes and fills, swapping colors between properties, and resolving color differences when merging scenes. Additional tools include randomizing and cycling palette entries. The interface is compact and responsive, and it integrates directly with KBar and Overlord. Compatibility spans After Effects CC 2017 through the 2024 release.
