                        Color Modulation?

                        Hi there.  

                        Is the technique shown in this Gunpla build called Color Modulation?

                        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MMaG-e3O-I&t=355s

                        Please check out video starting at approx 5:06 where the builder is painting white over a black base but he is working around edges and panel lines.

                        Is this a form of color modulation?

                        Nope, that is called "pre-shading" or, more correctly, under-painting. Color modulation is painting some panels a slightly different shade of the local color.
