The Ultimate Color and Label Management Toolkit for After Effects

Download ColorFlow V1.6.1 today. Consequently, you can transform the way you work with colors and labels in After Effects, turning a previously time-consuming process into a seamless, one-click workflow . Because professional motion designers frequently waste valuable time copying hex codes, manually adding Fill effects, and hunting through cluttered timelines, having access to a dedicated color management tool is absolutely essential. Nevertheless, managing colors and labels across multiple layers often leads to inconsistencies and frustrating slowdowns . Fortunately, ColorFlow eliminates this bottleneck completely. Moreover, it provides an all-in-one solution trusted by over 300 motion designers worldwide, featuring custom palette creation, instantaneous color application, advanced label management, and smart shortcuts . In short, you can stay focused on your creative design rather than the tedious task of managing colors .

Instant Color Application and Global Changes

The core of this script lies in its ability to eliminate repetitive, manual color workflows. For instance, you can apply colors instantly to text, shapes, solids, footage, compositions, and even the comp background with a single click . ColorFlow allows you to apply the source color directly, add a Fill effect, or apply it to stroke properties for text and shapes . Furthermore, you can select all layers using a specific color with Ctrl/Cmd + Click, streamlining complex comp-wide color changes . Since the script supports native 3D models and parametric meshes introduced in After Effects 2024+, you can also apply colors directly to their “Base Color” material property . Consequently, you will save up to 50% of the time typically spent on color management tasks compared to manual workflows.

Custom Palette Management and Advanced Color Harmonies

Professional projects require consistent color schemes and the flexibility to experiment. Therefore, ColorFlow offers a comprehensive palette management system. For example, you can build, edit, reorder, and name custom palettes for each project, ensuring you always start organized . The script also allows you to extract colors from any image or paused video frame, turning complex comps into clean palettes instantly . Importing palettes from external sources like Adobe Color, Coolors, or even messy client messages with random hex codes is remarkably simple, as ColorFlow automatically extracts, cleans, and removes duplicates . Additionally, you can generate professional color harmonies—complementary, triadic, analogous, and tetradic—with a single click, and create instant light and dark variations for any color, enabling you to build consistent color systems without tedious trial and error .

Smart Label Management for Complex Comps

Navigating complex compositions with dozens of layers can quickly become overwhelming. Therefore, ColorFlow includes a dedicated Label Flow panel that dramatically improves layer organization. For instance, you can select all layers with a specific label using Ctrl + Click or toggle the shy mode for selected layers with Shift + Click . The new Smart “Organize” button in v1.6.1 responds dynamically to your selection: if no layers are selected, it organizes the entire composition, but if you select a subset, it only affects those layers, giving you surgical control over your comp’s structure .

v1.6.1 Enhancements

Version 1.6.1 brings a powerful new Smart “Organize” feature for Label Flow, which dynamically responds to your layer selection and applies the organization command accordingly . This update also delivers general stability improvements and specific bug fixes for macOS users, ensuring a smoother experience across all platforms . It is compatible with a vast range of After Effects versions, from CC 2019 to the latest 2026 releases, on both Windows and macOS .

Perfect for Motion Designers, Video Editors, and VFX Artists

This script is particularly well-suited for motion designers who manage complex projects with multiple layers and need to maintain consistent branding.
