What I was getting at is if you were exporting the images from a certain software that might have a unique image encoding. Could you upload a sample image that you are having issues with?
What I was reffering to is not necessarily about the actual image color, but the encoding, the method and format of the image data. The two images you sent uses different encodings on the images that are producing errors.
The one you experienced issues with is a PNG with a Y color space (which controls the brightness, hence grayscale), as opposed to YUV color space (which has the ability for colors, but just isn’t using them) that your other image has.
Could you share the images you had trouble with? I was able to convert the image you sent previously.
Also, if you don’t mind sharing, what source are you getting your images from? Depending on how you are sourcing your images, it might be easier to get you a fix.
