    Both great tools. Personally I think color grading is better done in a dedicated tool with dedicated controls, keyboard shortcuts, interface etc., and so I tend to prefer Color. That said, going to Color takes more time and effort, so if it’s a quick in-and-out project, Colorista can create equally good looks.

    Not that I’m a big shot colorist, but:

    Colorista is nice for those who want a nice look but don’t want to know the ins and outs of color grading. It’s a plug in…

    Color is more flexible as it has 8 secondaries rooms, for a total of 16 possible corrections.

    Color also has the color fx room where you work with nodes, further customizing your look.

    Color is targeted toward highly experienced, professional colorist

    that’s all I got.

    Same question 10 days ago. The only point to add is that in my workflow, I am considering Colorista to do stills which Color doesn’t handle.

    Same question several months ago too, multiple times. Topic has been covered quite a bit in this forum by you, me, Shane Ross and quite a few other folks.
