$color independently scales the red, green and blue channels of an albedo.
$color "[<red float> <green float> <blue float>]"
Quote marks are required. The default value is [1 1 1].
Solid color
This parameter can be used without an albedo to display a solid color without the need of a texture (except a %tooltexture). As well as a small saving in performance and memory footprint, material_modify_control can be used to completely change the material's color at run-time if desired.
In this scenario, [1 1 1] is pure white.
Tip:If the material is representing empty blackness, you will probably want to use the UnlitGeneric shader to prevent it from ever becoming grey.
