The ColorAdjust effect allows us to change the following properties of any node (usually, it is applied to images):

• Hue
• Brightness
• Contrast
• Saturation

Refer to the following screenshot:

You can really only see how it works in action, so I advise you to run the following sample and try the corresponding controls:

// chapter8/colors/ColorAdjustDemo
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    // you can use any local image here, I've just provided web one to simplify project stucture
    ImageView iv = new ImageView("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sgrinev/mastering-javafx-9-10-book/master/resources/sample.jpg");
    iv.setFitHeight(240);
    iv.setFitWidth(240);
    ColorAdjust ca = new ColorAdjust();
    iv.setEffect(ca);

    VBox root = new VBox(10);
    for (DoubleProperty prop : new DoubleProperty[] {
        ca.hueProperty(), ca.contrastProperty(), ca.brightnessProperty(), ca.saturationProperty()
    }) {
        Slider slider = new Slider(-1, 1, 0.);
        prop.bind(slider.valueProperty());
        root.getChildren().add(new HBox(5, slider, new Label(prop.getName())));
    }
    root.getChildren().add(iv);
    root.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);
    root.setPadding(new Insets(10));

    primaryStage.setTitle("Color Adjust Demo");
    primaryStage.setScene(new Scene(root, 300, 400));
    primaryStage.show();
}
