Saffron Cyanide

Saffron Cyanide is a colour grade in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. Violet base, saffron mids and a cyanide-green highlight edge.

Runs live on video, images, a camera or generated art. Stack it with any other effect, and route LFOs, envelopes or any of ten audio bands to its controls so it moves with the music.

What Saffron Cyanide does

Violet shadows lift to orchid, saffron orange takes the mids, and a cyanide-green edge lights the top third. It's a straight brightness ramp, so the green lands only on the lightest details, not wherever green sits in the source. Violet spreads orchid into the darks, Saffron drags orange lower, Cyanide widens the green top.

Using Saffron Cyanide

Where it works
Psytrance and acid covers, drops that want a toxic clash and poster art. Against Radioactive Rose it swaps magenta for violet and saffron, and its green follows brightness instead of the green channel.
With the music
The shader doesn't react to sound. Send B1 kick to Cyanide so kicks flash the highlights green, and put a beat-synced LFO on Saffron to pump orange through the mids.
Starting point
Violet at centre, Saffron three-quarters, Cyanide a quarter, then raise Cyanide until the brightest lines just turn lime.
