Start by opening your image in Lightroom and navigating to the "Develop" module.
Scroll down to the "Color" panel and click on the "Color Wheels" tab.
Here, you'll see three color wheels: "Shadows," "Midtones," and "Highlights."
A common technique for color grading is to add some blue to the shadows and warm tones to the highlights. This can give your image a more natural and cohesive look.To do this, simply click and drag the sliders on the color wheels to your desired hue. You can also adjust the saturation and luminance of each color by using the outer ring and center dot, respectively.
Keep in mind that the color wheels are powerful tools and can completely change the mood and atmosphere of your image. Use them wisely!
Don't forget to play around with the "Temp" and "Tint" sliders in the "Basic" panel to fine-tune the overall color balance of your image.
And as always, have fun and experiment with different color combinations to see what works best for your image.
