Color swap — Gradient-aware background color changes that keep shadows & depth

Give every product a brand-consistent backdrop without the cut-out look. Color swap analyzes lighting, preserves soft shadows and background roll-off, and recolors the canvas to your exact hex—so results feel studio-real, not flat.

Shadow-preserving recolor maintains contact shadows & gradients.
Subject-safe keeps garments, skin tones, shoes, and accessories untouched.
One-click palettes with curated brand-friendly colors or free hex/RGB entry.
Batch-ready for large catalog runs with identical output rules.

Realism preserved: soft falloff and shadows remain while the canvas color changes.

Shadow & gradient aware

Recolor respects ambient light and background roll-off to avoid the “flat cutout” look.

Subject-only protection

Edges are matte-aware; garments, skin, and materials remain unchanged and true to color.

Aesthetic palettes

Curated swatches accelerate brand-safe choices—or input any hex/RGB value.

Apply to background only

Toggle limits changes to the backdrop while preserving subject micro-contrast.

Consistent across angles

Each view inherits the same hue & luminance mapping for set-wide coherence.

Bulk-first pipelines

Run thousands of assets per category with identical parameters and outputs.

Workflow steps

Pick a color, keep realism, batch it. The UI mirrors the lighting-aware engine underneath.

Color swap parameters: color picker, suggested palette, apply to background only

Step 1

Choose your color

Use the hex/RGB field or pick from suggested aesthetic colors curated for fashion catalogs.

Step 2

Apply to background only

Enable the toggle to lock subjects. The engine keeps contact shadows and ambient gradients intact.

Step 3

Upload & batch

Run single SKUs or folders. All angles get the same hue with consistent light mapping.

Before → After: color swap with realism

Compare sets: backgrounds change, but natural shadow depth and gradient falloff remain. No plastic flattening.

Before and after grids showing recolored backgrounds with preserved shadows and gradients — Brand-consistent hues across the entire angle set, realism preserved.

UI → Engine mapping

Every control maps to a lighting-aware recolor behavior.

UI Control	Engine Behavior	Notes
Color Selection (hex/RGB)	Target hue & luminance mapping	Maintains local exposure; avoids clipping
Suggested Aesthetic Colors	Curated, catalog-safe palette	Fast, on-brand defaults
Apply to background only	Subject masking + edge feathering	Preserves shadows & rim lighting
Auto select color (optional)	Auto-picks a matching hue from set	Great for series or brand themes
Batch mode	Consistent hue & light mapping	All angles stay coherent

FAQs

Does Color swap change the product color?

No—by default it targets only the background. The subject is protected to keep fabric and skin tones true.

Will shadows look fake after recolor?

We preserve contact/ambient shadows and gradient roll-off, so results remain studio-real.

Can I use brand hex values exactly?

Yes, enter precise hex/RGB values. The engine adapts luminance to avoid banding or clipping.

Does it work on textured backdrops?

Yes, within reason. For heavy textures or props, the engine preserves depth cues while shifting global hue.

Recolor backgrounds, keep realism

Brand-consistent canvases in minutes—no manual masking.
