Definition

  • Type: Property
  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.CoreModule
public Color color { get; set; }

Remarks

By default, Unity considers a color with the property name name 
"_Color"
to be the main color. Use the 
[MainColor]
ShaderLab Properties attribute to make Unity consider a color with a different property name to be the main color.
This is the same as calling Material.GetColor or Material.SetColor with the property name of the main color as a parameter.
Additional Resources: Material.SetColor, Material.GetColor, ShaderLab: Properties, ShaderPropertyFlags.MainColor.

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class Example : MonoBehaviour{    // Fade the color from red to green    // back and forth over the defined duration    Color colorStart = Color.red;    Color colorEnd = Color.green;    float duration = 1.0f;    Renderer rend;    void Start()    {        rend = GetComponent<Renderer> ();    }    void Update()    {        float lerp = Mathf.PingPong(Time.time, duration) / duration;        rend.material.color = Color.Lerp(colorStart, colorEnd, lerp);    }}
