Hi,  
i have this object made with several texture maps, : diffuse, roughness, normal … etc

 ![ss](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/2X/f/fdb1628bf1098e4c27d9f713427fd3db2e511105.jpeg) ![Unzztitled](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/2X/f/f2c857521d38c5f8c089cf14009b460a00e40350.jpeg)

is there a way to modulate the diffuse texture with another color so the object can look green, blue , red … etc ?

thanks .

`material.color` and any vertex colors in the geometry will be multiplied against the diffuse texture `material.map` if present. So for example, a color of `#ff0000` would zero out everything but the red channel in the texture.
