# Wall Color Changer

> See how any wall color looks in your room before you paint. Pick from presets or enter a custom color.

## What it does

The Wall Color Changer uses AI to realistically repaint your walls in any color — while keeping everything else in the room (furniture, decor, lighting) exactly the same. The result shows a photorealistic preview of your room with the new color applied.

## Free vs paid plan access

<Warning>
  The **full color picker** (color wheel and custom hex code input) is a paid plan feature. Starter users can select from the **preset color swatches** only. Upgrade to Pro or Business to unlock any color.
</Warning>

## How to use it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload your room photo">
    Upload a clear photo of the room showing the walls you want to change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a color">
    **Free plan:** Select from preset color swatches — a curated set of popular paint tones organized by family (neutrals, warm, cool, bold).

    **Pro & Business:** Full access to all three color selection methods:

    * **Preset swatches** — popular paint colors organized by tone
    * **Color picker** — click the color wheel to choose any exact shade
    * **Hex code** — paste a specific color code (e.g. `#F5E6D3`) from a paint brand's website
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Apply Color**. The AI will render your room with the new wall color in 10–20 seconds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reading the result

The output shows a **before/after split view**:

* Left half: your original room (grayscale reference)
* Right half: your room with the new wall color applied

This makes it easy to judge how the color changes the feel of the space.

## Tips for best results

<Tip>
  Photograph walls straight-on when possible. Angled shots still work, but flat wall shots give the most accurate color rendering.
</Tip>

* Shoot in daylight or with consistent room lighting — the AI respects your room's natural light and shadow
* Avoid photos with strong colored light sources (colored lamps can affect how the rendered color looks)
* If you want to test multiple colors, each generation costs 1 credit — test your top 3–4 options before committing

## Common use cases

* Testing paint colors before buying
* Comparing warm vs cool tones in the same room
* Checking how accent walls look against existing furniture
* Previewing bold or dark colors you wouldn't normally risk
