Revision colors
SceneItAll supports the industry-standard revision color sequence for tracking script drafts. This reference lists the colors in order, the exact shade SceneItAll shows for each, and how the colors appear in the app, so everyone on your team can name the same draft the same way.
The standard order
When you add files to upload, SceneItAll suggests the next color in the sequence below for each file, based on the latest revision in that file’s episode. The first script in an episode starts at White, and after Gray the suggestion goes back to White. Archived revisions and failed uploads are not counted. If you upload several files for the same episode at once, they get consecutive colors in revision-date order (for example Blue, then Pink).
You can always pick a different color. A color you pick yourself is never changed by a suggestion, and later files in the same batch continue the sequence from it. The color name is always shown alongside its dot so it never relies on color alone.
| Order | Color | Shade | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | White | #BDBDBD |
Original draft |
| 2nd | Blue | #42A5F5 |
First revision |
| 3rd | Pink | #EC407A |
Second revision |
| 4th | Yellow | #FFCA28 |
Third revision |
| 5th | Green | #66BB6A |
Fourth revision |
| 6th | Goldenrod | #DAA520 |
Fifth revision |
| 7th | Buff | #D2B48C |
Sixth revision |
| 8th | Salmon | #FA8072 |
Seventh revision |
| 9th | Cherry | #DE3163 |
Eighth revision |
| 10th | Tan | #C4A882 |
Ninth revision |
| 11th | Gray | #9E9E9E |
Tenth revision |
By convention, once a production passes Gray it starts the sequence again as “Double White,” “Double Blue,” and so on. SceneItAll suggests plain White at that point; name the revision “Double White” in its revision name if you need to tell the rounds apart.
Where colors appear in the app
- Upload — when you upload a script, SceneItAll suggests the next revision color, and you can change it in a dropdown that shows each color name beside a colored dot. See Upload a script.
- Script viewer — the version control in the header shows the current revision’s color and name.
- Script revision controls — revision colors stay in script-native upload, reading, and comparison workflows. Scenarios do not target or display a revision.
Why colors matter
On a physical production, the original script is printed on white pages. When a revision goes out, only the changed pages are reprinted on the next color and slotted into the binder, so anyone can flip through and see at a glance which pages changed and from which revision. SceneItAll keeps this convention digital.
