# Color

**Color** element provides a color palette for interactive color selection which enables the creation of configurators with custom color control for object materials.

The **Color** element operates through a [<mark style="color:blue;">variable</mark>](/documentation/3d-configurator/variables-and-expressions.md). A variable is selected in the Color element settings and can then be referenced in any supported color-related field, including:<br>

* Material **Color**
* **Emission** color
* **Overlay** texture color
* Background color

{% hint style="success" %}
**Tip:** the same variable can be assigned to multiple objects, allowing a single Color element to control their colors at once.
{% endhint %}

#### Color input

[<mark style="color:blue;">**Input**</mark>](/documentation/3d-configurator/floating-ui/input.md) element includes a **Color** parameter.\
By specifying the same [<mark style="color:blue;">variable</mark>](/documentation/3d-configurator/variables-and-expressions.md) used in a Color element, the Input element can be linked to the color configuration. This allows color values to be adjusted not only through the palette but also by entering precise **`RGB`** or **`HEX`** values, combining visual color selection with exact numeric control.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.vectary.com/documentation/3d-configurator/floating-ui/color.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
