@julo,

I don't know about this particular case, but generally you (rhet) will find many aspects of the CLI, where if a feature can be done in Edit Metadata (GUI) as well as through the CLI tools, the default will be to use the library preferences.

IOW, if ebook-convert is told to generate a cover (using the same backend code used in the builtin Generate Covers feature) then your library settings *should* control and limit what kinds of covers are generated through ebook-convert.

Quote:
When generating covers, a color scheme for the cover is chosen at random from the color schemes below. You can prevent an individual scheme from being selected by unchecking it. The preview on the right shows the currently selected color scheme.
If you do this^^, ebook-convert as well should start only generating covers using that restricted set.
