14 Cinematic Color Grades (with AI Prompts)
The same shot under a different grade carries a completely different feel — color grading is the last and most decisive step toward a cinematic look. We collected 14 of the most common cinematic color grades, from Hollywood teal-and-orange and bleach bypass to Morandi, cyberpunk neon and Hong Kong retro, each with a portrait example and copy-ready bilingual prompts. Pick a look, copy the prompt, swap in your own scene.
These prompts work across mainstream AI video and image tools like Sora, Kling, Runway and Midjourney — copy one and swap in your own scene.
