“Name that color!” How to prompt AI image generators with better color and palette descriptions

Generate specific colors in your AI artwork with these tips

Getting specific with color terminology in your AI art

Not only does color add a WOW factor, but it also makes an artist’s images appear more distinctive and high quality. You want to develop a “look” — and more often than not, that means a color palette that expresses you.
