Color

The Color section of the Substance Lab specifies how the monochrome master noise defined in the previous section is colored to create the base texture.

The properties available in this section will change depending on the selected color type, as indicated below.

Following are the color types that are available by clicking the "Select Type..." button indicated in the image above. Note that the term "master noise" used in some of the following descriptions refers to the noise defined in the previous section.

Color Type	Description
Use Input	Use the Substance Lab's input. This essentially converts the Substance Lab into a filtering node.
2 Color Gradient	Uses two colors to color the master noise in a straightforward manner.
5 Color Gradient	Like the previous type, but uses five colors instead of just two.
Cloth	Creates a finely woven cloth.
Etch Gradient	Colors the master noise using an additional noise and two colors.
Glass	Constructs a transparent, glassy material.
Mixed Colors	Colors the master noise using an additional noise and four colors.
Mosaic	Makes mosaic and embroidery patterns.
Mother of Pearl	Makes iridescent materials, such as mother of pearl.
Painted Layers	Colors the master noise as if layers of paint were splattered onto a canvas.
Reflected Material	Reflects colors off the master noise in order to form interesting abstract patterns.
Stone	Colors the master noise using an additional noise and two colors that will be useful when making certain stones.
