Microsoft patents image generation that locks in specific colors
Microsoft describes a method for creating new images that strictly adhere to a chosen color palette. The system combines a text description of the color with a specific color code and a reference image to guide the image generation process.
In the filing’s own words
Methods, computer systems, and computer storage media are provided for generating new images in association with a desired set of colors. In embodiments, a text prompt including a first color signal representing a textual description of a color and a second color signal representing a color code associated with the color is generated. Further, an image prompt is generated that includes a color-enhanced reference image generated in accordance with the color. The text prompt including the first color signal and the second color signal and the image prompt including the color-enhanced reference image are used to generate a new image, which may be presented via a user interface.
