Colouring something without a texture map

I wish to colour an object that has no texture map for its surface. So I just set the diffuse colour to the desired colour. But the object stays white.

If there's no texture to take priority over the diffuse colour, doesn't the diffuse colour "win" ?

If I create a new primitive, all I need to do to colour it is to set the diffuse colour, so why not with an object? What's "getting in the way"?

    That depends on a number of things like Specular and reflection. What item it is and I will take a look see for you.

    Just so you understand, the texture is multiplied by the diffuse color and the diffuse strength.
    If the value and color are 1, then the texture will be unchanged since anything multiplied by 1 remains unchanged.

    As mentioned previously, there are other components to color, so check specular and ambient along with reflection

    Thanks for this. I figured it out. It was because ambient colour was white and ambient strength was set at 100%

    I switched ambient down to zero and hey presto!

    :D
