The industry colour sequence (white, blue, pink, yellow, and onward) used to mark each revision pass on a locked shooting script so the set knows which pages are current.
Colour is a shared calendar for paper and PDFs on a locked shooting script. "We're on yellow" means a specific generation of pages, not a vibe. The industry sequence (white, blue, pink, yellow, and onward) lets every department know which stack is current without rereading the whole book each morning.
Specs and early development drafts do not need revision colours. Colours matter once page and scene numbers are frozen for production. Using rainbow pages on a sales draft looks like costume production and can distract readers who only wanted a clean story read without paper logistics.
Inkwell includes the full production colour sequence in revision mode on Pro and above. Printed asterisks and coloured PDF page sets are separate distribution capabilities -- use revision mode for the production sequence in-product, and confirm export expectations before you promise a physical colour run to a coordinator.
No. Colours matter once a script is locked for production. Specs and early development drafts stay on a normal continuous draft without a colour run.
Yes -- the industry production sequence is available in revision mode on Pro and above. Confirm whether your delivery workflow also needs physically tinted or revised-pages-only output.
Productions continue with further named generations or goldenrod and beyond per the published sequence and office practice. The point is a shared generation label, not stopping at yellow forever.
Yes in production language -- teams still say blue or pink for the revision generation even when everyone is on PDFs. The colour name is the ledger entry, whether or not anyone prints tinted paper.
