    Hi,

    I was wondering if support for the color tag is coming soon? I am currently having to make a new sprite for every color I need of the same sprite.

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    If your sprite is assign as a background for a VisualElement, you can use the "-unity-background-image-tint-color" style, like so: 
    -unity-background-image-tint-color: rgba(97, 207, 109, 255);


    In C#, that would be:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. visualElement.style.unityBackgroundImageTintColor = Color.green;
    Hope this helps!

    Glad you were able to find the issue!

    Yes, you should be able to apply a color to a SpriteAsset like so:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. <sprite index=0 color=#55FF55FF>

    Would be best if this was an option on the TextMeshProUGUI component itself.

    Edit: I just found that there IS an option in TMP Settings called Tint All Sprites. I recommend setting this to True and then using color overrides inline, when needed.
