The AI Color Palette feature is a fast way to change colors in images and videos by uploading a reference image. It is very easy to use and will help you achieve the right color scheme you were aiming for. Here's how to do it.

2. Open the program and click on New Project.

   

3. Click on Import and select a PNG file from your device. We will use Wondershare's logo.

   

4. Drag the PNG image to the timeline from the Media tab.

   

5. The logo we used has black letters, and when you add them to a project, you cannot see them. That's why we need to add a white background. To do this, go to Stock Media, search for "white," and drag the white background to the timeline. Make sure that you organize them so that the PNG image is above the white background in the timeline.

   

6. Click on the PNG image once in the timeline to select it, and then, on the right, go to Color > Basic, and in that menu, search for the AI Color Palette feature. Activate it, and click on Add.

   

7. In the new AI Color Palette interface, click on Local File and click anywhere in the designated area to upload a reference image.

   

8. Now, click on Generate. The AI feature will analyze the reference image and try using the same PNG color palette.

   

9. Preview the results, and if you are satisfied, click on Save & Apply.

   

If you compare and contrast the last two screenshots (the 8th and 9th steps), you will see that the colors of the logo have changed to something a bit more vibrant. Of course, Filmora offers other ways to adjust colors, and we'll get into that right away.

Change Colors in PNG Images Manually

You can easily change PNG colors manually. You can adjust the color wheels or edit the HSL in Filmora.

Change PNG Color with Color Wheel

Just click on the image in the timeline and go to Color > Color Wheels on the right of the screen. Then, adjust the three sliders until you reach the desired color. We wanted to change the Filmora logo to a bluish color. Here's our result.

There is one more option for easy color adjustments.

Adjust PNG Colors with HSL Sliders

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Luminance, which are three separate sliders that you can adjust for each main color. This way, you can get very interesting results. To access it, select the image in the timeline and go to Color > HSL on the right. Here, you can adjust sliders for specific colors. Our result is a green version of the logo. Check it out.

Now that you have reached your desired color scheme, perhaps you would like to change the background color.

Change the PNG Background Color

Filmora allows you to replace the PNG background color in seconds on Mobile and PC. If you want to keep the color of the objects and only want to change the background color, you can combine the smart cutout feature and image background to achieve that. If you want to change colors in PNG images on mobile, please follow these steps:

1. Download and install the Filmora app on your phone.
