Color balance layer not working with shine effect in Ae

I tried applying a color balance layer above an Ai layer that has a CC Radial Fast Blur "shine" effect on it, to add a color glow to the shine effect through my Ai logo, but it doesn't work - the Ai layer below still shines white, with no color highlights.  I did everything right - I created a new solid layer, placed that layer above the layer with shine effect, turned on the half-circle adjustment layer setting, clicked on Effect, Color Correction, Color Balance, and set highlight color balance colors to >0, but it still doesn't apply any color highlights to my shine.  Does the color balance layer work on Ai images, or does it only work with text typed into Ae?  How do I get the color balance layer to work with my Ai file layer?  Thanks for any helpful advice you can give me to solve this problem!

    You could try re-arranging the Effects in your Effect Control window. Dragging the name of an effect above or below the other effect. The gentlemen are right about only certain effects changing white.

    What Rick said - you probably overcranked your settings plus color balance is the wrong effect to begin with. There simply is nothing to balance based off a perfectly white or black pixel. Use Coloroma, Tritone or Tint or any other colorization effect.

    There's no way to help you without completely guessing if you don't share a screenshot with all modified properties of all the layers giving you problems revealed. Select the layers, press the U key twice, PrintScreen, return to the forum and reply to this post by using paste (Ctrl/Cmnd + v) to show us your screenshot. If you are on a Mac then Shift + Ctrl/Cmnd + 3 will copy a screenshot to the desktop, just drag it to the reply field.

    My guess is that you have driven the pixel values in your glow all the way to white so that color correction has no where to go. A screenshot will help; us help you.
