Did you have 'black and white' in your prompt text? If so, it is something that Firefly does not get 100% right in making the entire image those colours.

Hello@EkahiDesign,

Thank you for your message. I am sorry you are having this problem. 

The model does not understand the concept of a word being negated by the word in front of it. So using "not [X]", "no [X]", and "without [X]" does not work. As you observed, it ignores the negation word and add to the image the thing you are trying to avoid. In your case, "no red", "no colours" adds what you are trying to remove.

You basically need to find "positive" words and phrases telling the model what you want to see rather than telling it what you do not want to see.  Such as "flat land" rather than "no mountains".  If I am not sure how to describe something I want to exclude in a positive way, I will ask Google Gemini or ChatGPT for ideas.  Just be aware that when they give prompts, they are usually too wordy and conversational, so you have to edit them, but they are good for ideas.

These are some of the styles I use when I am trying to get what you are looking for:

Those styles were used for this:

Hope this helps. Let us know if you need more assistance.
