Color Grading

Learn to adjust color tone with Color Grading.

What is Color Grading?

Color Grading is the group of effects that adjusts the color tone and mood of the frame. It is used to get a warm, cold or cinematic look. Settings such as brightness, contrast and saturation are done here.

renk.colorFilter.value = new Color(1f, 0.9f, 0.8f);
renk.saturation.value = 10f;

It reflects the mood of the scene through colors.

Tonemapping and LUT

Tonemapping fits the wide brightness range into the tones the screen can display. A LUT is a color transformation table; it applies ready color styles in a single step. When both are used together, the image looks balanced and stylish.

renk.tonemapping.value = Tonemapper.ACES;
renk.lut.value = lutDokusu;

Thanks to tonemapping, very bright areas do not drown in white.

Exercise Set the color tone

In a class named RenkAyari, define a string ton field with the value "Normal" and an int katman field with the value 1. In the Start method, set the ton value to "Sicak", increase katman by one, and print the pieces "Ton: ", ton, " LUT katmani: " and katman joined together with Debug.Log.

Show example solution

using UnityEngine;

public class RenkAyari : MonoBehaviour
{
    string ton = "Normal";
    int katman = 1;

    void Start()
    {
        ton = "Sicak";
        katman++;
        Debug.Log("Ton: " + ton + " LUT katmani: " + katman);
    }
}
