Colorist Society is thrilled to share some important and long-awaited news for our community. IMDb and IMDbPro have added a new Color Department credit category to its name and title pages. This marks a significant milestone in how colorists are recognized across the film and television industry. We applaud this landmark change.

Under the new system, existing colorist credits for films, television, documentaries and other media will be moved to the new Color Department section, and future credits will also appear there. As you know, colorist credits were previously scattered among various production and post-production categories, making it difficult to locate and properly acknowledge our essential creative work.

With this change, colorists’ contributions will now be displayed in a consistent and coherent manner, making it easier to connect with other professionals, promote work, and pursue new opportunities. IMDb has already migrated existing credits, and colorists can now update their professional listings to reflect their experience more accurately.

“This is a major step forward in the recognition of colorists as an essential part of the creative process,” said Kevin Shaw, President of the Colorist Society. “We’ve worked for years to help the industry understand the creative and technical importance of colorists. This update from IMDb and IMDbPro gives our craft the visibility it deserves. We’re deeply grateful to everyone at IMDb for listening and making this happen, and to our members and supporters for standing with us—especially during this challenging period for the post-production community.”

Warm regards,
The Colorist Society
