Hi There,

i would like to recolor a jumper from one color into another color --> light green into scin color. This works just fine for the majority of the article. But I have a purple shimmer around the buttons. How can i avoid this. Are there any tricks or tipps how i can do this. (The color of the button is not important since it will be put onto a seperate layer)

Many Thanks

Hi @Christian5C7E - I’m Caroline, a Product Marketing Manager at Adobe.

I'm conducting some research on recoloring assets and think you'd provide some super valuable insights - would you be interested in a brief interview? We'd also offer a gift card for your time!

Let me know if you'd like to proceed and can send over a calendly link (or feel free to DM me)

I suspected that in RGB mode the color shift in the shadows was caused by the fact that changing a channel’s tone level automatically changes the channel’s color to some degree and vice versa.

I switched to Lab Color, where tone resides in a channel separate from color. (I could not choose your exact green and skin for a test because there is no flat color area to measure. I settled for something in the neighborhood.)

The shadow color shift was eliminated.

I would like to try it with your exact colors. Can you tell me the RGB values and color profile of each of the two colors or the Lab value for each?

If, on the other hand, you are familiar with Lab curve adjustments (far different from RGB) I suggest you give it a try. Good luck.

This looks very nice - can this also be used to recolor images to a needed color, likle the example given? Could you give me some more information about this so that i can get into this and learn. Need it desperately :-). Thank you so very much.

And what do you mean with any flat area --> Maybe that all the colors are a mix and?

Yes, Christian, with Lab Color, you are able to change an object to another color with precision.

You must mark a point on the object where you want to achieve that color.

By the term “flat color” I am referring to a monotone color swatch – one without any texture.

In my test, Green color (Lab L65, a-15, b16) was changed to Skin color (L57, a7, b9). A simple, precise color change. Nothing fancy. The Curves for the change look like this:

In addition, you can make the product lighter or darker, and/or change local contrast (for example, you can choose to accentuate the weave), all without affecting the color.

I wrote a brief intro to Lab Color for my students some time ago and if you are interested post a private note to me. I will hunt around for the PDF and send it to you when (if) I find it.
