The plugin now includes a lightweight on-device AI model that analyzes your image’s mood. It categorizes the palette into five archetypes: Vibrant, Muted, Neutral, High-Contrast Noir, and Pastel. Once categorized, it allows you to shift the entire palette along the color wheel (Analogous, Complementary, Triadic) while maintaining the original image’s lighting structure.
