Repaint any car on demand — a house color line available on every vehicle plus brand catalog colors — and studio shadows, cut-outs and opaque delivery now render on the fly for every exterior view.

Live paint rendering — ?color= repaints the actual studio shot on demand. Reflections, chrome, glass, badges and interior stay untouched; only the paint changes, true to its finish (solid and metallic paints render as such). Like every transform, the first render is cached on the CDN, so repeat requests are instant.
House color line — five curated Vehicleimagery colors (black, white, blue, orange, wine_red), available on every car with color support and listed in every car's /colors.
Brand catalog colors — original manufacturer paints (e.g. Kia *Racing Red*, Mercedes-Benz *Luganograu Metallic*, Ferrari *Viola Alhumaid*, Hyundai *Bell Flower*), listed on cars of that brand.
/api/colors now pairs every color with its brand: { color_name, color_make } — house colors carry color_make: "Vehicleimagery".
Colors compose with every other option: ?color=wine_red&shadow=true&format=webp&width=1200 works exactly as you'd expect (also with transparency, ratio, mirroring, ground).
New guide: Paint colors at /info/guides/colors — discovery, house vs. brand colors, combinations and fallback behavior.
Improved
Studio shadow for every car — shadow=true is now rendered at delivery time for every exterior view instead of depending on a precomputed variant. The same applies to transparent cut-outs (transparency=true) and opaque white delivery: availability is uniform across the whole catalog.
Per-car /colors, /all and /api/getall list the colors relevant to that car — the house line plus its brand's colors — keeping responses compact. Any active catalog color remains requestable on any car via ?color=.
Paint rendering quality: smoother, cleaner painted surfaces at the same metallic depth and gloss.
Crisper cut-out edges on transparent renders (smoother, anti-aliased contours).
