The main Colors video series are categorized under the following names:
- A Colors Show: Each installment of the platform's flagship series entails a performance by one or more artists in a minimalist room with floor and walls covered in a single color.
- A Colors Encore: This series usually features another track by an artist who participated in "A Colors Show". More liberties are taken in the making of the videos, in particular with more pronounced shadow play and handheld camera filming.
- New Opera: This more recent series tends to promote a wider range of artistic disciplines and the subjects may have greater social and cultural significance. The first episode invited French singer Yseult to perform three songs, the first two filmed in black and white and the third setting her in a partially flooded room decorated with turquoise fabrics. Emphasis is also placed on the high fashion clothing worn by the artist during their performance.[25]
Operating model and public image
The artistic and committed identity of ColorsxStudios has become increasingly defined since their inception. Their social engagement charter states that their responsibility is to choose artists whose voices and messages are part of an inclusive and culturally diverse structure, whose goal is to build bridges between cultures and artistic disciplines.[26] This diversification of means of expression and this choice to broadcast committed artists are fully in line with the founding principles of the studio, which is now defined as a "musical platform" in the broad sense.[27] In the same vein, ColorsxStudios has launched an online store where they sell a range of products ranging from environmentally responsible clothing to vinyls featuring certain original titles.[28]
