Interesting coloring bug

[hot cairn]

When creating a lot of objects and trying to give them all a different color after instantiating, unity doesnt really know what to do, it just renders them white.
Using the built in 2d render pipeline. After updating some color values on runtime on a objec the color correcst itself (for example sliding the alpha value).
Trying to pare roud map data from an geoJson file, I wanted to color each dot in the same color which are getting made in the same loop.

The first troubleshooting step for you should be to confirm whether the issue is in your code or rendering
What sticks out to me is that you're setting Color to a high int value, while it's a float from 0 to 1

Color32 would be an int between 0 and 255

did not think that was it because in the inspector the "correct" color was shown but that was the problem

fixed it with diving by the maximum

now I'm getting this

[limpid briar]

Could do 0 to 1 float randomization to avoid that

Unless you specifically want it to have reduced color depth

[hot cairn]

was just a quick fix because I didnt wanted to google xD

[limpid briar]

Or rather because you did change it to floats, you can just change 256 to 1 and it'll work

[hot cairn]

did not for me

was all black

[limpid briar]

You also have to remove the division then

[hot cairn]

the division came afterwards

1f

[hot cairn]

like this right

wait

ok that works

oh... before this showed ints as input

that confused me

[limpid briar]

The documentation page for Random.Range directly has an example for float use, faster than both googling or guessing

It does both floats and ints depending on the variable type

[hot cairn]

well you get to the documentation page through googeling right?

[hot cairn]

yea i got that now thanks

[limpid briar]

It's correct because ints get automatically converted to float (but not vice versa iirc)
