- In some Spanish-speaking regions, the phrase darle color is used colloquially to mean adding excitement or flavor to a situation, far beyond the technical scope of film editing.
- The word color is derived from the Latin 'colōr', which itself comes from the Proto-Indo-European root '*ḱel-', meaning 'to cover' or 'to hide'.
