Color options for the interior design You can colorize this photo yourself using the half-finished materials that we give you. Download an archive containing the original image and the file with the strokes (*.strokes). Read the instruction here to see how AKVIS Coloriage works.
AKVIS Coloriage allows designers to experiment with the color schemes for the interior and exterior design. First you use any program to create an interior design in one color or in black and white, then you use AKVIS Coloriage to set a color for every object and detail.
Below is an interior design in black and white created in 3DS MAX.
- Step 1. Open the image in your photo editor, for example, in Adobe Photoshop.
- Step 2. Call the plug-in AKVIS Coloriage by selecting the command Filter – AKVIS – Coloriage in Adobe Photoshop.
- Step 3. First we will render the interior in beige. Draw a contour within the objects using different hues of beige and the colors that harmonize with it:
- select brown for the plinth and the floor;
- paint the walls in beige and the ceiling in a light beige;
- select white for the radiator, the window-frame and the columns;
- select milk-white for the buffet (do not forget to outline the windows in the buffet);
- select a greenish tone for the glass shelves and windows of the buffet;
- choose some light hue of the tree color for the table and the chairs, and a darker tone for the lunch counter.
- Step 4. Press the button
 and see the colorization result in the After tab.
- Step 5. Save the drawn strokes in a file. For this purpose press the button
 and save the file, for example, under the name Interior-beige.
- Step 6. Press the button
 . The plugin window of AKVIS Coloriage will close and you will see your black and white photo colorized in the chosen colors. Save the photo in a file.
- Step 7. Go one step back in the History palette to the original black and white photo and call AKVIS Coloriage again.
- Step 8. Open the file with the saved strokes by pressing the button
 and by selecting the file Interior-beige.strokes from the list.
- Step 9. Change the color of the walls and of the floor. To change the color of the walls, select the bright yellow-orange from the palette, activate the Magic tube tool in the Control panel and left-click on any stroke on the wall. As a result, all strokes of this color will change to yellow-orange. Change the color of the floor and the plinth to a more saturated brown that will harmonize with the bright color of the walls.
- Step 10. Press the button and see the new color range in the After tab.
- Step 11. Apply the result by pressing the button . Save the new version of the interior color range in a new file.
- Step 12. Go one step back in the History palette to the original black and white photo and call AKVIS Coloriage again.
- Step 13. Press the button in the plugin window and select the file Interior-beige.strokes from the list.
- Step 14. This time we will do the following:
- Use the Magic tube tool to change the color of the beige walls to light-green,
- We will paint the ceiling in white;
- Change the color of the furniture.
- Step 15. Press the button and see the third version of the interior design in the After tab.
- Step 16. Apply the colorization result by pressing the button .
