Why Scene Colors Matter
Scene strips are coloured by INT/EXT and time of day, on the stripboard and the call sheet, the same way paper strips were.
Industry-Standard Color Scheme
The defaults follow the usual stripboard colours. Reset to Defaults puts these back:
| Scene Type | Default Color | Hex Code |
|---|---|---|
| INT. Day | White | #FFFFFF |
| EXT. Day | Yellow | #F5D742 |
| INT. Night | Green | #40B772 |
| EXT. Night | Blue | #2E81C5 |
| INT./EXT. Morning | Salmon | #FFA07A |
| INT./EXT. Evening | Orange | #FFA601 |
Tip: Morning and evening each have one colour, used for both INT and EXT.

Special Scene Types
There are six colours and no custom categories. Flashbacks, dream sequences, VFX and 2nd unit scenes take the colour of their INT/EXT and time of day. Dawn and dusk fall under morning and evening.
Color Accessibility
There are no patterns or stripe overlays. The text on each strip switches between black and white to stay readable on the colour you pick. If someone on the crew can't tell two defaults apart, pick colours that differ more in lightness.
