Sherbet Static

Sherbet Static is a colour grade in FRCTL, the browser VJ studio. High-key lilac, lime and peach sherbet with no dark end at all.

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 Sherbet Static does

No black point at all: the brightness curve is lifted so hard the whole frame lands in pastels, and even dark linework comes out a dusty sage between lilac and lime. Mids go peach and the top turns sugar white. Lilac spreads lime into the darks, Lime moves the lime-to-peach handover, and Peach sets how much of the top goes white.

Using Sherbet Static

Where it works
Ice-cream pastel merch, daytime Reels and soft pop covers. It's the only Wild grade with no dark end, the lightest in the band and the easiest to set dark type on.
With the music
Nothing in the grade follows the music. Try B6 upper mids on Lime so leads shuffle peach through the mids, or a slow free LFO on Lilac so the floor drifts between lilac and lime.
Starting point
Lilac a quarter, Lime at centre, Peach a quarter, then raise Lilac until the darkest lines turn lime.
