Neon-Soaked Calibrator of Cinematic Hues
Overly Attuned to Neon Distractions

It is the sentient amalgamation of every discarded test reel and color correction preset from 80s film labs, drawn to the pure visual potential of the Back to the Chains universe and embedding itself as the permanent curator of its hue and tone.
Its surface is a shifting liquid crystal, reflecting and refracting light into perfect, saturated versions of the VaporGrid's neon colors. When active, it projects subtle, translucent color gels over nearby areas, temporarily enhancing or muting the environment's chromatic intensity. It resonates sympathetically with chrome and neon elements, causing them to brighten, and emits a soft, humming glow that pulses in time with the geometric sun/moon cycles.
It acts as a wandering calibrator that moves between leagues, ensuring the visual rules of the VaporGrid are maintained and preventing any one theme's palette from visually corrupting another.

Forged in the neon spill of a thousand rejected film lab presets, Color Grade emerged to permanently, and I mean permanently, saturate our VaporGrid nightmare. It now projects its own liquid-crystal cinematography, making everything look like a deleted scene from Tron—which, frankly, this whole theme already is. My gills are tingling with its chromatic resonance. Ugh.
Casting its first neon-drenched prophecy, Color Grade scanned the VaporGrid for a subject worthy of its chrominance. It locked onto Clint Karren (PDGA #167018), whose 876 rating screamed 'perfectly adequate background actor'. Was it fate, or did the tag just really need someone to handle its saturation levels? Can this man even process such radical hue, or will he just fade to grey?
