Candy pink and purple tones with Classic Chrome for sunrise and sunset
I’ve been experimenting in X RAW Studio a fair bit recently, as it’s a great way to try out new setting combinations and develop film recipes. I like to try colour balance settings away from my usual comfort zone, and see how these look on different RAW files.
It was some of this experimenting that led me to this recipe. It’s base is Classic Chrome, which is boosted with +3 colour and shifted into a slightly pink-purple tone with a +4, +4 adjustment.
I found that this candy toned hint was especially well suited to sunrise and sunset images, with an etheral fantasy like quality. When experimenting with some saved RAW files, I also loved the look on frosty winter scenes too. I’ve provided a good range of image samples below, so you can see if you like it, and of course the settings to give it a try for yourself.

More recipes with a Pink/Purple Tone
There are many film recipes with golden and creamy colour tones, including a good selecion on this site. However, film recipes with pink and purple tones are less common. Here’s a selection that I have made with a pink cast to the colour that can freshen up your photo feed.
