'Remove background' alters colors

Hi ​@Jurgen_Genser1, welcome to Figma Forum and thanks for reporting this.

I tested the Remove background feature on both JPG and PNG files and wasn't able to pick up on a significant color shift. One thing I did notice in my file is a perceived difference once the background is removed and the image sits directly on the white canvas. The visual contrast initially made colors appear slightly different even when they haven't changed. Could that explain what you're seeing?

If not, the following would help me dig deeper before escalating:

1. File type: What format are the images you're working with (JPG, PNG, etc.)?
2. Image size: What's the pixel dimension (width × height)?
3. Nature of the color change: How would you describe it — is it an overall hue shift, or limited to certain areas of the image?
4. Layer context: Is the image standalone, part of a component, or sitting within a specific frame or layout?
5. Before and after: If you're able to share a screenshot comparing the image before and after removing the background, that would be really helpful.

Thanks again — I'll keep an eye out for your reply!

thanks for your reply! the issue is quite new - it was still working as expected a week ago… here are my answers:

1. PNG (e.g. copied via clipboard from the browser)
2. image size ist quite small - e.g. 1024x1024px
3. it’s a hue shift - the image looks much more saturated after the background removal
4. standalone image
5. can’t post the actual image due to brand restrictions
