Color Screen Online: Complete Colour Display Guide
Why a custom colour screen?
Our white screen and black screen cover the most common use cases, but colour screens open up much more. For video production, you might need a specific chroma-key colour not available on the standard green screen page. For photography, you might want a pastel backdrop that complements your subject's skin tone or product colour. For presentations, you might need your exact brand colour as a transitional slide.
Chroma-key with custom colours
While green (#00b140) is the industry standard for chroma-key, professional video software supports keying on any colour. If your subject is wearing green or is surrounded by foliage, switch to blue or magenta. If your subject has blue eyes or is wearing blue clothing, a custom orange or yellow key avoids colour conflict. This colour screen tool lets you dial in the exact shade your keying software needs.
Photography and colour theory
For product photography, a complementary background colour (opposite on the colour wheel) makes the subject pop. A blue product photographed against an orange background, or a red product against a green background, creates natural visual contrast. Our colour picker lets you test any shade before committing to a physical backdrop purchase.
Ambient and bias lighting colour
Studies suggest that the colour of ambient light affects mood and productivity. Warm colours (amber, soft yellow) promote relaxation. Cool colours (blue-white) promote alertness. Our Ambient Light tool specialises in this use case, but this colour screen gives you full colour control for any bias lighting setup.
