More Noise IV: It's a Gray World

Nice pattern, but why so gray? The one thing missing from Fractal Noise is color. To add color to your pattern, you'll have to apply a second effect.

• You could use Adjust>Hue/Saturation (check the Colorize option).

• You could place a solid layer above and set it to Color or Hue mode.

• We suggest using the mighty Colorama effect in the Image Control category. Try applying Colorama's presets to a Fractal Noise pattern until you find a look you like.
