## 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](https://github.com/jtydhr88/ComfyTV/blob/main/docs/bridges.md)).

## 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.

## Outputs

| Output    | Type            | Meaning                              |
| --------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| **video** | `COMFYTV_VIDEO` | The selectively-graded clip snapshot |

## 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.
