Create dynamic wardrobe visuals, test colourways before production, and save thousands on reshoots—all with the help of an AI colour editing tool designed for creatives.
Why Color Still Reigns in Fashion Design
Colour isn't just surface-level. It's how a brand speaks without words—evoking emotions, signalling trends, and creating instant recognition. Swapping a warm neutral for a jewel tone can completely reframe a design or shift its seasonal relevance.
However, changing garment colours across a complete set of product shots or mood boards has traditionally required a significant amount of time in Photoshop (or, in some cases, expensive reshoots). Enter AI-powered colour-changing tools like Coura, which allow fashion designers and creators to quickly test alternate colourways by simply uploading an image and providing a brief description of the new colour in a short prompt.
Studies show that colour alone can increase brand recognition by more than 80%.

How Coura's Color Tool Works — Without the Fuss
Forget masking tools and adjustment layers. Coura makes recolouring as easy as writing a caption. Just drop in your photo, highlight the clothing item, and describe the new tone ("muted sage", "peach linen").
The AI does the rest—creating hyper-realistic recolouring while keeping shadows, creases, and textures intact. It's like getting a fully reshot version of your outfit without ever having to open your camera roll.
"The textures looked so natural even after recoloring — I couldn't believe it was AI." – Indie designer @ellafromstudio

Pro Tips: Getting Crisp, Clean Recolor Results
Even with smart AI, thoughtful setup still leads to the best outcome. Here's what to keep in mind:
Start with a Strong Base Photo:
- Use sharp, well-lit images
- Make sure the garment stands out from the background
- Avoid heavy wrinkles or shadows that might confuse the AI
Write Smarter Prompts:
- Be specific ("dusty rose silk blouse"> "pink shirt")
- Mention fabric texture if relevant (linen, jersey, satin)
- Stay on-brand with your color language
According to Coura Labs, refined prompt wording can boost color accuracy by up to 40%.
