DigiComp HD Blue — precision blue for compositing
The digital blue standard for compositing where green won't work — green-heavy foregrounds, skin-tone-critical work, or a blue-key look. DigiComp HD Blue (5750) brings the same vectorscope-ideal, ultra-flat, high-reflectivity performance in a blue key.
Is blue your key?
When digital blue is the right key
Precision blue for the cases green can't cover.
Green in the foreground
Foliage, greenery or green wardrobe rule out a green key.
Skin-critical composites
Blue spills less on skin for cleaner edges on people.
Blue-key looks
Night exteriors and looks that suit a blue key.
Problems it solves
The compositing problems it solves
The blue precision key, engineered like its green sibling.
Green key impossible
Green foregrounds break a green key.
Spill on skin
Green spill is hard to pull off faces.
Off-standard blue
Generic blues aren't to compositing spec.
Uneven big walls
Patchy saturation reads as different blues.

Application
Lay it down right
Precision colour still needs an even, matte wall. Prime, two coats, light it flat, and verify on a scope.
Prep the surface
Clean, dry, oil-free. Fill and sand — even light reveals every defect.
Prime porous areas
Roll Tough Prime White for a uniform base so colour lays even across a big wall.
Stir, don't shake
Stir until uniform. Use straight from the tin; thin only minimally if at all.
Two even coats
Brush, roller or spray. Keep a wet edge and overlap strokes. Two coats over primer.
Recoat, then cure
Touch-dry in ~30 min, recoat in 1–2 hr, so both coats go on in a day.
Light it evenly & test
Even wash, no shiny props or floor spill — then check the key on your camera.
How much will you need?
