  • Colourist is an Occupation normally listed under Visual Effects. If the credits directly indicate it, then it might also be listed under Special Effects or Makeup Department.
  • It is well documented in Doctor Who Confidential and various episodic commentaries that producer Phil Collinson asked his grader to generally push up the reds and yellows so that Doctor Who would appear bright and inviting to a viewer flipping through channels on the television set. Nevertheless, certain episodes produced by Collinson, notably Tooth and Claw have an obviously darker tonality. The process was featured in CON: After Effects, when Confidential interviewed Mick Vincent, the principal colourist for BBC Wales Doctor Who.
  • In comics, a colorist (colourist in British English) is responsible for adding color to black-and-white line art. For most of the 20th century this was done using brushes and dyes which were then used as guides to produce the printing plates. Since the late 20th century it is most often done using digital media, with printing separations produced electronically.

Nevertheless, certain episodes produced by Collinson, notably Tooth and Claw have an obviously darker tonality. Colourists were not commonplace or credited on the 1963 version of Doctor Who. In fact, the practice of recording on film whilst on location, and video whilst in studio made full colour grading impossible. However, each episode of the BBC Wales version makes extensive use of colour grading and an artist has been credited for every episode since Rose. The process was featured in CON: After Effects, when Confidential interviewed Mick Vincent, the principal colourist for BBC Wales Doctor Who.

Although most American colorists work directly for comics publishers (either as employees or freelancers), there are a few coloring studios which offer their services to publishers. American Color, Olyoptics, and Digital Chameleon were companies notable in this field.
