Embodiments of the present disclosure provides systems and methods for processing video content. The methods include: reconstructing a plurality of luma samples associated with a picture; and reconstructing a chroma block associated with the picture. The reconstructing of the chroma block includes: determining whether the chroma block has non-zero residues; and in response to a determination that the chroma block has one or more non-zero chroma residues, determining an averaged value of the plurality of reconstructed luma samples, and scaling residues of the chroma block based on the averaged value, prior to reconstructing the chroma block.
