What this node does

Selective Color lets you tweak nine fixed color families independently — reds, yellows, greens, cyans, blues, magentas, plus whites, neutrals, and blacks. It’s the direct equivalent of Photoshop’s Selective Color adjustment: pick a family, push its value, and only pixels in that family shift. It takes COMFYTV_VIDEO in and out and renders through ffmpeg’s selectivecolor filter, so it has a ▶ Run with a live preview on the card. Only families you actually move are sent to the filter; with all nine at zero the clip passes through unchanged. To send the result into native ComfyUI nodes, add a Bridge (see the Bridge guide).

​
When to use it

  • Deepen a blue sky without touching skin tones
  • Warm up neutrals and blacks for a filmic base
  • Pull green out of shadows or foliage
  • Any “change just this color” grade that would otherwise need a mask

​
Parameters

​
sc_method

Correction method, default absolute. Options: absolute, relative. This is passed to the filter as correction_method. relative scales adjustments by the existing amount of color present (gentler); absolute applies a fixed shift.

​
sc_reds / sc_yellows / sc_greens / sc_cyans / sc_blues / sc_magentas / sc_whites / sc_neutrals / sc_blacks

One value per color family (each default 0.0, range −1.0…1.0). Positive and negative values push that family’s color balance in opposite directions. Any family left at 0.0 is skipped, so untouched colors stay exactly as they were.

Tips

  • Nothing happens on Run if every family is still at 0.0 — move at least one.
  • Try relative first for a subtle, self-limiting adjustment; switch to absolute when you need a stronger, uniform push.
  • whites, neutrals, and blacks are the tonal families — use them to tone shadows/midtones/highlights without affecting hue-based ranges.
  • Hue Correct — curve-based hue targeting when nine fixed families aren’t precise enough
  • Video Color — global hue/saturation and three-way wheels
  • Video Curves — per-channel tone curves
