One Serum, Four Colors — Creating Product Color Variation Images with AI

When you offer the same product in multiple colors, shooting each color variant separately multiplies your costs and time. I used XBRUSH's edit feature to change only the color on an existing product image — generating several color versions in one session.


The Original — Red Serum

3D cosmetic serum bottle — red original

The source is a dropper-type serum bottle — a polished image with fruit styling and water droplets. From here, I'll change just the bottle color to green, orange, and purple.


Changing the Color with AI

XBRUSH edit UI — serum color change

Select the original image in XBRUSH Studio, enter Edit mode, choose the Seadream 4.5 engine, and type a prompt.

Prompt: "Change the product color to green"

Setting the image count to 4 generates four different green variants simultaneously. Swap "green" for another color in the prompt to get orange or purple versions the same way.


Color Results

Green color variant — kiwi and strawberry background

The green version. As the bottle color shifted, the fruit props in the background naturally harmonized toward green and kiwi tones.

Orange color variant

The orange version. The strawberry and kiwi background is retained while only the bottle shifts to orange.

Purple color variant — grape background

The purple version. The composition leans toward a grape-toned palette that complements the new color.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does changing the bottle color also change the background and props automatically?

Often yes — XBRUSH's Seadream 4.5 engine tends to harmonize the surrounding props and background with the new bottle color. In the examples above, shifting to green pulled the background toward kiwi tones, and purple brought in grape-like hues. You can run multiple generations and pick the one with the best color harmony.

Q: How many color variants can I generate in one session?

You can set the image count up to 4 per generation. To cover more colors — say red, green, orange, and purple — run the same source image through separate prompts, each specifying a different color. The whole process for four colors typically takes under 15 minutes.

Q: Can I use this for products other than cosmetics — like apparel or homeware?

Yes. The color change prompt works on any product type where color is a key differentiator. Clothing, bags, mugs, and accessories all respond well. The key is starting with a clean, well-lit source image where the product color is the dominant visual element.
