A puddle light system projects content-bearing images onto a ground surface adjacent a vehicle using a puddle light projector unit having a multicolor light source configured to project the content-bearing images using at least one selected color from a plurality of available colors. An image sensor directed at the ground surface and mounted on the vehicle is configured to capture colored images. A controller is configured to (A) construct one of the content-bearing images as an image representation with an illumination region to be projected onto the ground, (B) analyze a first colored image of the ground surface with the light source deactivated to identify a dominant surface color, (C) select a complementary color relative to the dominant surface color, (D) colorize the illumination region using the selected complementary color, and (E) command the puddle light projector unit to project the image representation using the colorized illumination region.
