| nameID | Property name ID, use Shader.PropertyToID to get it. |
| name | Property name, e.g. "_Color". |
| value | Color value to set. |
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.

//Attach this script to a GameObject that has a Renderer component
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { //Fetch the Renderer from the GameObject Renderer rend = GetComponent<Renderer>();
//Set the main Color of the Material to green rend.material.shader = Shader.Find("_Color"); rend.material.SetColor("_Color", Color.green);
//Find the Specular shader and change its Color to red rend.material.shader = Shader.Find("Specular"); rend.material.SetColor("_SpecColor", Color.red); } }
