AI image recolor

Explore new colors for a product, outfit or room with a reference-led image edit. Describe the surface to change, then compare the color and material detail.

Try a new color on your reference image

Choose a reference and a color direction. Name the surface to change and the details to keep, then inspect the generated edit.

Compare the new color with the original material

These Image Gen illustrations show proposed recolor directions, not screenshots or verified outputs from this Astorie form. Each preset thumbnail uses the Cream sofa reference.

Decide which surface should change

  • Separate the fabric from the walnut legs and backdrop.
  • Notice the seams, woven texture and shaded folds.
  • Keep the original for a whole-image comparison.

Give the color change a clear boundary

The prompt guides a generated image edit. Name the material and nearby details that matter to your review.

Describe the material, not just the hue

Ask for the same linen weave, leather grain, paint finish or glaze while changing its color. Inspect the actual highlights, folds and surface detail afterward.

Name what should stay unchanged

Separate the target surface from trims, hardware and background. Review the boundaries because a prompt does not provide an exact local selection.

Raincoat color-direction concept with visible folds
Clothing fabricRecolor only this raincoat to mustard yellow. Aim to retain its folds, seams, fastenings, matte material and original shape. Keep the background unchanged.
Mint kettle concept with contrasting metal and handle
Product bodyChange the kettle body to muted mint green. Aim to keep the metal spout, dark handle, reflections, shape and background as they appear in the reference.

AI image recolor FAQ

What does this AI image recolor tool do?

It generates a new image from your reference and a color-change brief. Choose a direction or write your own, then review the target surface and the rest of the image.

Can I change one object while keeping the background?

You can request that in the prompt. Name the object or surface to recolor and the background details to retain, then inspect the actual boundaries and surrounding areas.

Can I use a custom color or HEX value?

You can describe your target in the editable prompt, including a color name or value. Exact numeric matching is not guaranteed; compare the actual image with your approved color reference before production.

Will the texture and shadows stay the same?

Exact preservation is not guaranteed. Ask to retain the material and lighting, then check weave, grain, reflections, folds and shadows for unwanted changes.

Does the form include a brush or color picker?

No. It uses a reference image, preset prompts and an editable brief. It does not expose a brush, local mask or calibrated color picker.

Can I explore several colorways?

Yes, by generating each color direction in a separate request. Use the same source for comparison and inspect every candidate; the form does not provide a batch colorway export.

Can I use the recolored image commercially?

Paid-plan outputs have commercial rights subject to provider terms and your rights to the source material. Free-plan generations are for personal, non-commercial evaluation. Review the current commercial-rights policy.

Are uploaded images excluded from training?

Not by default. Uploads, prompts and outputs may be used for training and improvement, and provider policies apply. Enterprise opt-out requires a written agreement. Read the upload-data policy before supplying a reference.
