DOTS ARE APPROXIMATE — the meanings are final. The swatches still have to be sampled from Resolve's own Set Clip Color menu so they match what you see in the app.

Clip colors
Every weddingColors are how the edit finds its material. Paint every clip you keep — the color says what it is, so nobody has to scrub the timeline to find the first look.
How to paint a clip
Select the clip (or several), then Mark ▸ Set Clip Color — or right-click the clip and pick Clip Color. Resolve shows these names in English; the grey name under each one is the Spanish Juan sees on his machine.

an unpainted clip is a question for Juan, not a mistake
