# Colored Models
{% hint style="info" %}
**Why?**
To make a colored element or a colored vehicle you don't have to make a separate model for each item with a different color.
For example a custom colored furniture.
{% endhint %}
## How can I do this?
### 1. open your model with Blockbench
### 2. select the face you want to be colored
### 3. use a white/gray texture, for better coloring
### 4. enable the hidden "Tint" feature
### 5. enable the coloring for each face you want to be colored
### 6. set the specific color attribute in your .yml file.

In this example I used `leather_horse_armor` but you can also use `potion`.
```yaml
orange_modern_lamp:
display_name: "Orange Modern Lamp"
specific_properties:
leather_horse_armor:
color: ORANGE
resource:
material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR
generate: false
model_path: item/template_modern_lamp
```

This requires ItemsAdder 4.0.13 and Minecraft 1.21.4+ (both client and server).
