When done to the overall image, this is known as primary colour grading, when done to just part of the image, it is called secondary colour grading. The most well known example of colour grading, is probably in the movie Star Wars. Whenever you see the good guys, and particularly when they are introduced - for example Luke Skywalker - upon his introduction he is seen on a planet with warm orange and yellow tones, to portray warmth and comfort, conversely, when we first see Darth Vader, he is seen in a clinical impersonal spaceship corridor with cold, blue tones, to enhance the impression that he too is cold in his demeanour. It's this, in combination with their introductory tunes which helps you determine who the good guy is and who the bad guy is. Are you actually saying Darth Vader is one of the bad guys?! He was supposed to bring peace, freedom, justice, and security to the Empire! Anyway, thanks for explaining about color grading, that's why I came to this thread. I'm doing a little writeup on sharpening and image quality. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
