    All you need to do for issues like this one before coming here is to google ” kuler in AE” or whatever else you’re looking for- probably there’s something out there. Here’s what my search turned out:

    Using kuler color schemes works more for motion graphics than for color grading footage where generally you use one or two main colors ( like transformers/where the wild things are and many other yellow&blue combination). You could use a more complex combination, but it will involve lots of masking to break down the image in layers and then assigning to each area a color from the kuler color swatch.

    BTW, there’s a section in After Effects Help about this:
