ComfyUI Node: LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance)

LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance):

The LayerUtility: GetColorTone node is designed to analyze an image and extract its color characteristics, specifically focusing on identifying either the main color or the average color of the image. This node is particularly useful for AI artists who want to understand the dominant color palette of an image, which can be crucial for tasks such as color grading, thematic consistency, or artistic inspiration. By converting the image to a format that can be processed, applying a Gaussian blur to smooth out noise, and then calculating the desired color metric, this node provides a streamlined way to obtain color information in both RGB and HSV formats. This functionality allows you to make informed decisions about color usage in your creative projects, enhancing the visual appeal and coherence of your work.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance) Input Parameters:

image

The image parameter is the primary input for the node, representing the image from which the color tone will be extracted. It is expected to be in a format that can be processed by the node, typically a tensor representation of an image. This parameter is crucial as it directly influences the color analysis performed by the node.

mode

The mode parameter determines the method of color extraction to be used. It offers two options: main_color and average. The main_color option focuses on identifying the most dominant color in the image, which is useful for understanding the primary visual impact of the image. The average option calculates the average color, providing a more holistic view of the image's color palette. This choice affects the output and can be selected based on the specific needs of your project.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance) Output Parameters:

RGB color in HEX

The RGB color in HEX output provides the extracted color in a hexadecimal string format, which is a common representation for colors in digital design. This output is useful for easily integrating the color into various design tools and applications, allowing for seamless color matching and application.

HSV color in list

The HSV color in list output gives the extracted color in the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color space, presented as a list. This format is particularly beneficial for understanding the color's properties in terms of its hue, saturation, and brightness, which can be more intuitive for certain artistic applications and adjustments.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance) Usage Tips:

• Use the main_color mode when you need to quickly identify the most visually impactful color in an image, which can be useful for creating a cohesive color scheme.
• Opt for the average mode if you are interested in a more balanced representation of the image's overall color palette, which can be helpful for background or thematic analysis.

LayerUtility: GetColorTone(Advance) Common Errors and Solutions:

Image input is empty

• Explanation: This error occurs when the provided image input is empty or not properly formatted.
• Solution: Ensure that the image input is correctly loaded and formatted as a tensor before passing it to the node.

Invalid mode selection

• Explanation: This error arises when an invalid mode is selected for the mode parameter.
• Solution: Verify that the mode parameter is set to either main_color or average, as these are the only supported options.
