Create a light. > Modify panel > Name and Color rollout
The Name And Color rollout lets you change the name and geometry color
of a light. Changing the color of the light geometry can be useful when
working with many lights. For example, in a scene with many different types
of lights, you could make all spotlights red, and all omni lights blue to easily
distinguish them.
Changing a light's geometry color has no effect on the color of the light itself.
You can set the color the light emits on its
Intensity/Color/Attenuation rollout
on page 5037for photometric lights, or the Intensity/Color/Attenuation rollout
on page 5083 for standard lights.
