Ever stared at an image and thought, “Something’s missing”? You know that feeling when a photo is good, but not quite perfect yet? That’s where Tengr.ai’s newly introduced Color Tone selector comes in – it gives that extra “something“, the right mood to your AI-generated images. It lets you fine-tune your images with a few clicks instead of having to write all these descriptions into the prompt.
Whether you’re going for a dramatic atmosphere in black and white, or a nostalgic sepia toned piece, or maybe an energetic neon vibe, Tengr.ai has made it a lot easier for you now. Let’s find out how!
Why Color Tones Matter
Think of color tones as the tool for transforming images into visual stories. They are the creators of mood and atmosphere. Most importantly, the right color tone can turn a simple image into an impactful story. You just need to experiment to find the right tone for the message you’re trying to convey.
Furthermore, color tones, in addition to setting the atmosphere, can influence viewers’ emotions and make images memorable.
So, let’s not underestimate the power of the right color tone in bringing out specific emotions in viewers.
Using the Color Tone Selector
Now that we know why color tones are important and how they influence the viewer’s perspective, let’s see how Tengr.ai made this easy for us. Since the introduction of version 0.9, besides the game-changing Transparent style, two new tools have been added to Tengr.ai’s already versatile selection of features: the Color Tone and Camera Angle selectors. All we can say is that these tools make prompting a lot easier. They’re user-friendly and amazing.
This time we’re going to explore the Color Tone selector in more detail.
This new tool is available in both Text-to-Image and Image-to-Image generations, so you can either use it to create an image in a certain color tone or use it to transform an existing image by adding a new color tone to it. If you’re not entirely satisfied with an image you’ve generated and you’d like to give it a fresh twist or add some flair, the Color Tone selector is one of the easiest ways to do that.
Just follow a few simple steps:
- Write your text prompt as usual, but keep in mind the mood you want to achieve.
- Select your preferred color tone from the dropdown menu labeled “Color Tone“. You can choose from 8 distinctive tones. Each tone will come with its own aesthetic and feel.
- Click the “Generate” button and wait for your artwork to appear. That’s it!
Using Color Tones in Img-to-Img Generation:
- First, upload the image you want to transform at the Image → Easy Mode option.
- Adjust your preferred settings, such as processing mode, creativity, details, etc.
- Select your color tone from the dropdown menu labeled “Color Tone“.
- Press “Generate” and watch how your image gets a new aesthetic and mood. Each color tone transforms your image differently.
Practical Tips:
- Experiment with different combinations! For instance, try the same prompt in different color tones to see the effect of each one.
- Try out both Seer and Servitor modes along with Tengr.ai’s versatile built-in styles, as each combination can lead to surprisingly different results.
- Important: When using color tones, try not to mention colors in your prompt, as these can clash with the tone you’ve selected. Better focus on other important details like mood, composition, and texture.
- Don’t be afraid to play around: when you find the perfect combination of color tone and style, that’s when the real magic happens. Often, the most unexpected combinations create the most stunning and memorable results.
Tengr.ai’s Color Tone Collection:
1. Cool Tone
To showcase all the color tones that Tengr.ai offers, we’ll apply each tone to these examples:
- A portrait (prompt: “Pencil sketch drawing of a beautiful redheaded woman in stylish winter attire, with clean, precise lining“)
- A landscape with a stag (prompt: “A majestic stag standing on the edge of a misty cliff, its antlers adorned with twisting vines and glowing crystalline fragments, overlooking a dreamlike valley under swirling, dramatic clouds. Tiny fireflies or glowing orbs hover around the stag, creating a sense of magic and movement.”)
This will help you see how each tone transforms the image, without changing anything in the prompts.
Cool tone creates a peaceful and mysterious mood. We mostly see cool shades like blue, green, purple, turqoise, and cyan. These colors convey calmness and sophistication, so it’s best to use a cool tone for serene, tranquil scenes.
2. Warm Tone
The warm tone is for creating cozy vibes and energetic scenes. It mostly uses shades of yellow, orange, peach and red, kind of like a warm, sunny, golden-hour feel. It’s perfect for autumn scenes, or cozy portraits with a warm, comforting feel.
3. Black and White
Black and white is perfect for when you want to create a timeless, classic visual with a serious mood. Plus, it has a dramatic impact. It takes away all colors to focus on contrast, texture, and form. Basically, it’s timeless, dramatic, and nostalgic.
4. Pastel
Pastel tones are ideal for creating dreamy, whimsical vibes. On the other hand, it can also give a trendy look to fashion shots. So, whether you’re looking for a cute, dreamy aesthetic, or a stylish fashion look, pastel tone is versatile enough to manage both. It uses a delicate color palette of soft pastel pink, baby blue, pastel yellow, lavender, mint, and other soft colors to achieve gentle visuals.
5. Vibrant
Vibrant tone is perfect for eye-catching, energetic images with vibrant colors. It amplifies colors for maximum impact. So, when you want an image that is lively, exciting and stands out, use the vibrant color tone. It combines vivid colors like electric blue, bright yellow, hot pink, lime green, and other energetic colors.
6. Sepia Tone
Sepia tone enhances the nostalgic, storytelling feel of images. It adds vintage charm, and an antique, old-time feel to AI-generated images. Its warm, brownish palette makes it ideal for historical or storytelling themes.
7. Muted Tone
Muted tone can be described as subtle, refined, calm and elegant. It uses soft colors like sage green, slate blue, taupe, olive, charcoal, beige and creates a mysterious and calm atmosphere. It’s perfect for showing subtle sophistication in fashion, nature or even architecture.
