Change the RGB numbers of images using ImageMagick

I am trying to convert images to rgb: (R:242 - G:235 - B: 190), but I can't seem to find the right command for that. All I found was this command that darkens the image, but when I changed gray47 to the numbers I want the output was black:

   convert \
       input.jpg \
      -channel red   -fx 'r - gray47' \
      -channel green -fx 'g - gray47' \
      -channel blue  -fx 'b - gray47' \
       output.jpg

ImageMagick version 6.8.9-9 Q16 x86_64

Or if any other command/script does that for Linux in bulk I am open to try anything else.

I want to batch colorize all images in a folder and subfolders from

to:

In ACDsee the colorize works well with these options, but it's slow and doesn't allow subfolders (for thousands of images): enter image description here

If I understand you correctly, you want to adjust the whitepoint to make the new white 242, 235, 190.

You can do this by multiplying the channels by 255 / 242, 255 / 235, 255 / 190, or 1.05, 1.09, 1.34. You can use recolor for this, eg.:

red_scale=1.05
green_scale=1.09
blue_scale=1.34
convert $infile -recolor "$red_scale 0 0 0 $green_scale 0 0 0 $blue_scale" $outfile

This is a 3x3 colour recombination matrix -- be careful to get all the 0s in the right place.

You could also consider libvips:

vips linear $infile $outfile "$red_scale $green_scale $blue_scale" "0 0 0"

It should be faster and use less memory.

It looks like you want a constant color output image in ImageMagick. You can do that by converting your colors to percent.

R:242 - G:235 - B:190

So

R=242/255=94.9%
G=235/255=92.2%
B=190/255=74.5%

Then

convert input.jpg -fill "srgb(94.9%,92.2%,74.5%)" -colorize 100 output.jpg

If on ImageMagick 7, then change convert to magick
