“Color My World” was filmed in Maple Ridge and the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, in Canada. In an interview with WDRB, DeSanctis said the movie was filmed in Vancouver during 14-hour workdays in just a few weeks.
According to Maple Ridge’s website, the town is a perfect location for filming because of its beautiful landscapes, tax credits, and how close it is to Vancouver. Many Hallmark movies are filmed in Vancouver and its nearby communities. The moderate climate makes it easy to film Christmas movies in July and other seasonal films in December. It also makes for beautiful scenery being so close to The Rockies.
