Why we like it

ReColor earns its place in the aescripts library for turning color changes into a project-wide task, from quality-control fixes to full palette swaps.

What is ReColor?

ReColor is a script for After Effects that surfaces the layer colors used across a project, then lets you change them through hex values or the native After Effects color picker.

The tool offers centralized color control for keeping in sync with brand-driven motion work. It also works for quality control, helping you find and correct color discrepancies, and for reskinning a project into light and dark modes or applying other color palettes. ReColor pairs with the True Comp Duplicator script to create asset variations that each carry unique colors.

ReColor is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025 and 2024, and reached version 1.05 with its initial release on January 30, 2026. A demo video is available. This entry is listed as free in our catalog; check the developer's page for current licensing.

Who is ReColor best for?

ReColor is best for after Effects artists who need to audit, sync or swap colors across a project, including brand-driven motion work and light/dark reskins.

How much does ReColor cost?

ReColor is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Does ReColor work with After Effects 2024?

ReColor is compatible with After Effects 2026, 2025 and 2024, so a 2024 install is supported. The script reveals the layer colors used across a project and lets you update them through hex values or the native After Effects color picker. It reached version 1.05 with its initial release on January 30, 2026. For any requirements beyond these listed versions, the developer's page is the place to confirm the details.

Can I change colors with hex values in ReColor?

ReColor lets you update the colors it reveals through hex values, or through the native After Effects color picker if you prefer to pick visually. It first surfaces the layer colors used in your project, giving you a view of what's in use before you make changes. This supports keeping palettes in sync with brand-driven motion work, correcting color discrepancies, and reskinning a project into light and dark modes or other palettes.

How does ReColor work with the True Comp Duplicator script?

ReColor pairs with the True Comp Duplicator script to create asset variations that each carry unique colors. True Comp Duplicator is a separate aescripts tool linked from the same listing, and used together the two let you generate variations with their own color palettes. On its own, ReColor still reveals a project's layer colors and updates them via hex values or the native After Effects color picker.

Is ReColor free to download?

ReColor is listed as free in our catalog, though licensing terms can change, so check the developer's page on aescripts for current details before downloading.
