1_1_BaseColor.png

Base Color defines the overall color of the Material, taking in a Vector3 (RGB) value where each channel is automatically clamped between 0 and 1.

If taken from the real world, this is the color when photographed using a polarizing filter (polarization removes the specular of nonmetals when aligned).

In the example above, you can see how a texture is used as a basis to create the Base Color for a Material.
