ComfyUI Node: LayerUtility: GetColorTone

LayerUtility: GetColorTone:

The LayerUtility: GetColorTone node is designed to analyze an image and extract its dominant color or average color, providing valuable insights into the color characteristics of the image. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who need to understand the color palette of an image for tasks such as color grading, style transfer, or creating cohesive visual designs. By converting the image to RGB and applying a Gaussian blur, the node ensures that the extracted color tones are representative of the overall image. The node can return the main color or the average color in both HEX and HSV formats, making it versatile for various applications.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone Input Parameters:

image

This parameter expects an image input in the form of a tensor. The image is processed to extract the color tone, and it should be in a format that can be converted to an RGB image. The quality and resolution of the input image can impact the accuracy of the color tone extraction.

mode

This parameter determines the method used to extract the color tone from the image. It accepts two options: main_color and average. The main_color option extracts the dominant color in the image, while the average option calculates the average color of the entire image. Choosing the appropriate mode depends on whether you need the most prominent color or a general color representation of the image.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone Output Parameters:

RGB color in HEX

This output provides the extracted color tone in HEX format. The HEX color code is a string representation of the RGB color, which is widely used in web design and digital art. This output is useful for quickly identifying and using the color in various design tools and applications.

HSV color in list

This output provides the extracted color tone in HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) format as a list. The HSV color model is often used in image processing and computer graphics because it aligns more closely with human perception of colors. This output allows for more intuitive adjustments and manipulations of the color properties.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone Usage Tips:

• For images with a clear dominant color, use the main_color mode to get the most prominent color tone.
• If you need a general color representation of the entire image, choose the average mode.
• Ensure your input image is of good quality and resolution to improve the accuracy of the color tone extraction.
• Use the HEX color output for web design and digital art applications, and the HSV color output for tasks that require color adjustments and manipulations.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone Common Errors and Solutions:

Invalid image input

• Explanation: The input image is not in the correct format or is corrupted.
• Solution: Ensure the image is a valid tensor that can be converted to an RGB image. Check the image file for any corruption or format issues.

Unsupported mode value

• Explanation: The mode parameter is set to a value that is not supported.
• Solution: Set the mode parameter to either main_color or average. Verify that the value is correctly spelled and matches one of the supported options.

Image processing error

• Explanation: An error occurred during the image processing steps, such as Gaussian blur or color extraction.
• Solution: Check the input image for any anomalies that might cause processing issues. Ensure the image dimensions and quality are appropriate for the node's operations.
