| The **color.tint** texture property is linked to the **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color|color]]** and **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color_alpha|color_alpha]]** texture properties. It defines a color multiplication factor to tint the images from the **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color|color]]** and **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color_alpha|color_alpha]]** texture properties. This allows to alter the color of textures without requiring new image files for each color variation. Furthermore this allows for dynamic color changes using a renderable for this texture property. | The **color.tint** texture property is linked to the **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color|color]]** and **[[gamedev:textureproperties:color_alpha|color_alpha]]** texture properties.
