Material.SetColor

Parameters

Description

Sets a named color value.

Many shaders use more than one color. Use SetColor to change the color (identified by shader property name, or unique property name ID).

When setting color values on materials using the Standard Shader, you should be aware that you may need to use EnableKeyword to enable features of the shader that were not previously in use. For more detail, read Accessing Materials via Script.

Common color names used by Unity's builtin shaders:
"_Color" is the main color of a material. This can also be accessed via color property.
"_EmissionColor" is the emissive color of a material.

    // Set red specular highlights
    rend.material.SetColor ("_SpecColor", Color.red);
}
