Can I transfer the color of the style image not its style?
I see there is a 'style only' option '-original_colors 1 ', Do you support a color only option?
@youyou0988 Neural-Style is a style transfer system, so you can't really avoid transferring the style. If you want to transfer the color from one image to another, I would suggest you use one of the Python scripts from my Neural-Tools project: https://github.com/ProGamerGov/Neural-Tools
One can also try to use neural-style with only (some) relu1_x layers as style layers, as it is the very lowest layers that respond specifically to color. I used -style_layers relu1_1,relu1_3 -init image to color a B&W photo into this. Not perfect, but perhaps worth while to experiment.
By the way, @ProGamerGov , I see nothing neural in the implementations of your Neural Tools. I guess the name of the project is because these statistical color manipulation tools are meant to be used together with neural style transfer? Or did I miss something?

Yep, the repository contains the code I produced from: https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style/issues/376 along with some more modifications, and a wiki guide on how to properly use it. It is meant for use alongside style transfer projects like Neural-Style, style_transfer, CNNMRF, etc... that don't perform histogram matching or luminance transfer on their own.

The name was originally chosen because of the intent to use the scripts to enhance the style transfer process. But I do agree that it is misleading in because the code does not need to be used with any style transfer system. I have been thinking about whether or not it would be a good idea to change the name of the project, though that would probably break links that I and others have shared to the project.
I believe what facebook is doing with its style transfer is using what @htoyryla is talking about, using the lower layers to transfer more color instead of style.
