DDColor is image generation AI model from Replicate, priced at €0.000 per 1M input tokens with a unknown context window.

About this model

DDColor (ICCV 2023) uses a pixel decoder plus a color-query decoder so it can assign rich, context-aware colors to grayscale scenes without the desaturated look of older methods. Good for restoring old black-and-white portraits and landscapes. The model_size input trades speed for quality.
