Color vs Color Solid

[Chris Messineo]

I have a question I've been meaning to ask for a long time.

Under the matte menu, what is the difference between Color and Color Solid?

One defaults to blue, the other to gray.

One defaults to blue, the other to gray.

That's true.

But is that the only difference?

I thought there would be some obvious answer that I missed, but it appears like it is a mystery to others as well.

Color Solid is listed as an FxPlug filter- which I guess might mean it's newer and renders a bit faster but that's not night and day...
