    The color of particles are not changing to the real color I am picking in the color picker. If I change it to green it only changes to a dark green or dark red etc.. Its not changing to the true green or red color I am picking such as a lighter shade of that color. Whats the deal with that?

    See the color I picked in the Inspector, its a light green but the color of the particle system in the scene does not reflect the color I picked.

    Hey @MathewHI ,

    The built-in particle system uses vertex colors to show color on particles, so you need to use a shader which supports this. In your material, instead of LegacyShaders/Particles/Alpha Blended, try using the Particles/Standard Unlit shader. Then you should be able to control your particle color via the Start Color and Color over Lifetime.
