Left Palettes
A series of palettes at the bottom left of the Color page provide access to different sets of
grading tools, used principally for manipulating color, contrast, and raw media format settings.
Each individual palette is opened by clicking the corresponding icon at the top of the
Palette panel.
The available palettes are the Camera Raw palette (for making metadata adjustments to raw
media formats), the Color Match palette (for creating automatic grades by sampling on-camera
color charts), the Color Wheels (graphical color balance controls and master wheels or sliders
for adjusting YRGB Lift/Gamma/Gain), the RGB Mixer (for mixing color channels into one
another), and the Motion Effects palette (with controls for noise reduction and artificial
motion blur).

Center Palettes
At 1920x1080 resolution or higher, a second set of palettes is organized at the bottom center of
the Color page. These palettes span a wide range of functionality, and the adjustments you
make with them can be combined with those made using the Color palettes.

NOTE: At lower resolutions, the Left and Center palettes are merged to fit the
DaVinci Resolve interface into a smaller area.
