Recorded prompt and result notes

Change only the red-brown exterior glaze of the coffee cup, including its handle, to cobalt blue. Keep the inside of the cup white and keep the coffee unchanged. The saucer must remain its original red-brown color. Preserve the spoon, table, reflections, object positions, camera angle and framing. Do not recolor the saucer or change anything outside the cup exterior.

All three outputs made the cup exterior and handle blue, keeping the inside white, the coffee present and the saucer red-brown. Reflections, fine wood grain and color values were not pixel-locked.
