Color management

[Walter Soyka]

[lars pedersen] “What is the most common color space used in post production/motion graphics “

This depends on your target display medium. For HDTV, use Rec. 709. For NTSC, use SDTV NTSC. For PAL, use SDTV PAL. For digital cinema, either P3 or XYZ.

[lars pedersen] “what is the common workflow to ensure that the color stays the same as the client wants (etc a .psd file with source materiale)?”

Set your working space as above in Project Settings to enable color management in After Effects. Assuming the PSD file is tagged with a color profile, AE will handle the color management for you seamlessly in the background.
