ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI-Recolor

Installation

1. Copy to ComfyUI

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/
git clone <repo-url> ComfyUI-Product-Recolor
# or just copy the folder

2. Install dependencies

cd ComfyUI-Product-Recolor

Install ONE of these for product masking:

Option A: SAM (Recommended)

# ComfyUI-Impact-Pack (includes SAM integration)
cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/
git clone https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Impact-Pack

Option B: GroundingDINO + SAM

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes/

Nodes

🎨 Precise LAB Recolor

Single-zone recoloring. Connect a mask + target RGB → recolored image.

| Input | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | image | IMAGE | Source product photo | | mask | MASK | Region to recolor (from SAM) | | target_r/g/b | INT | Target RGB values (0–255) | | luminance_blend | FLOAT | 0.0 = keep original brightness, 1.0 = match target exactly. Recommended: 0.5–0.7 | | saturation_boost | FLOAT | 1.0 = no change, >1 = more vivid | | edge_feather | INT | Blur mask edges (pixels) for smooth blending |

🎨 Multi-Zone LAB Recolor

Recolor multiple zones at once. Takes up to 8 masks + a JSON config.

🔍 Auto Color Zone Segmenter

K-Means clustering to auto-detect color zones within a product mask. Outputs up to 8 separate zone masks.

⚡ Batch Colorway Processor

Process ALL colorways in a single pass. Input JSON array of colorway definitions → batch of recolored images.

🎯 RGB Color Input

Parse "R, G, B" strings into individual values.

👁️ Color Swatch Preview

Generate color swatch images for visual comparison.

Workflows

Workflow A: Single-Color Product (e.g., D4T Knit Pant)

┌─────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────┐
│ Load Image  │────→│  SAM Segment │────→│ 🎨 Precise LAB  │────→│  Save    │
│ (KT4116)    │     │  (pants)     │     │   Recolor       │     │  Image   │
└─────────────┘     └──────────────┘     │                 │     └──────────┘
                                          │ target: 66,17,34│
                                          │ lum_blend: 0.6  │
                                          └─────────────────┘

Steps:

1. Load source product image
2. SAM: Click on the pants → generates mask
3. Precise LAB Recolor: Set target RGB from colorway spec
4. Save / preview

Workflow B: Multi-Zone Product (e.g., 3-Stripes T-Shirt)

┌────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│ Load Image │────→│ SAM Segment  │──→ mask_0 (main body)

                   └──────────────────┘

zone_config for JX0732 (Turqoise):

[
    {"mask_index": 0, "r": 88, "g": 148, "b": 134, "label": "Main"},
    {"mask_index": 1, "r": 4, "g": 0, "b": 0, "label": "3 stripes"},
    {"mask_index": 2, "r": 4, "g": 0, "b": 0, "label": "Logo"}
]

Workflow C: Complex Multi-Zone (e.g., TIRO25C Jacket, 7 zones)

┌────────────┐     ┌──────────────┐
│ Load Image │────→│ SAM Segment  │──→ 7 masks (one per zone)
│ (TIRO25C)  │     │ or Auto Zone │
└────────────┘     └──────────────┘

                   │ colorways JSON   │
                   └──────────────────┘

Workflow D: Auto-Detect Zones (No Manual Masking)

┌────────────┐     ┌──────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐
│ Load Image │────→│ SAM/rembg│────→│ 🔍 Auto Color   │────→│ 🎨 Multi-Zone    │

Recommended SAM Workflow in ComfyUI

For the best segmentation:

1. SAM Model: sam_vit_h_4b8939.pth (highest quality) or sam_vit_l_0b3195.pth (faster)
2. Prompt Type: Point prompts (click on the garment)
3. For multi-zone: Multiple SAM passes with different point prompts
4. Alternative: Use GroundingDINO with text prompts like "pants", "stripes on sleeves", "logo"

SAM + GroundingDINO Prompt Examples

| Product Zone | GroundingDINO Prompt | |---|---| | Pants (full) | "pants" or "trousers" | | T-shirt body | "t-shirt body" | | Sleeve stripes | "stripes on sleeves" | | Adidas logo | "adidas logo" or "brand logo" | | Jacket main body | "jacket body" | | Side panels | "side panel" |

Parameter Tuning Guide

luminance_blend — The Most Important Parameter

| Value | Effect | Use When | |-------|--------|----------| | 0.0 | Keep original brightness entirely | Source and target have similar lightness | | 0.3 | Subtle shift | Light → slightly darker target | | 0.5–0.7 | Recommended default | Most colorway changes | | 0.8–0.9 | Strong shift | Light → very dark (e.g., white → navy) | | 1.0 | Match target brightness exactly | Maximum color accuracy, may lose some shadow detail |

edge_feather

| Value | Effect | |-------|--------| | 0 | Hard edges (visible if mask isn't perfect) | | 2–3 | Slight softening (recommended) | | 5–10 | Smooth blending (for imperfect masks) |

saturation_boost

| Value | Effect | |-------|--------| | 0.5 | Muted/desaturated | | 1.0 | Natural (default) | | 1.2–1.5 | More vivid (useful for faded source photos) |

Example Colorway Configs

See examples/colorway_configs.json for complete configs matching:

• Article #1: D4T TEE (3 zones: main, 3bar, logo)
• Article #2: D4T KNIT PANT (1 zone: main)
• Article #3: M 3S SJ T (3 zones: main, stripes, logo)
• Article #4-B: W ESS 3S TS (3 zones: main, stripes, logo)
• Article #5: TIRO25C AW JKTW (7 zones: main, stripes, logo, sleeve, panels, piping)

Standalone Testing

Test the recoloring without ComfyUI:

# Single color
python test_recolor.py --image product.png --target_rgb 66,17,34

# Multi-zone
python test_recolor.py --image tshirt.png --zones 3 --target_rgbs "88,148,134;4,0,0;4,0,0"

# Batch from config
python test_recolor.py --image pant.png --config examples/colorway_configs.json \
    --article article_selection_2_d4t_knit_pant

# Just analyze zones
python test_recolor.py --image jacket.png --zones 7

API / Automation Approach

For high-volume processing (100+ colorways), consider:

1. ComfyUI API mode — Script the workflow via HTTP API
2. Standalone Python — Use test_recolor.py with batch configs
3. Nano Banana Pro — Deploy as serverless endpoint

Python API Example

from nodes.recolor_nodes import PreciseLABRecolor, BatchColorwayProcessor
import torch
from PIL import Image
import numpy as np

# Load image as tensor
img = np.array(Image.open("product.png").convert("RGB")) / 255.0
img_tensor = torch.from_numpy(img).float().unsqueeze(0)

# Load mask (from SAM or any source)
mask = np.array(Image.open("mask.png").convert("L")) / 255.0
mask_tensor = torch.from_numpy(mask).float().unsqueeze(0)

# Recolor
node = PreciseLABRecolor()
result = node.recolor(img_tensor, mask_tensor, 
                      target_r=66, target_g=17, target_b=34,
                      luminance_blend=0.6)

# Save
out = (result[0][0].numpy() * 255).astype(np.uint8)
Image.fromarray(out).save("recolored.png")
