color clarification

i've loaded a diffuse map for my color texture in a model, but when i render it, the color doesn't match the map.

what is the function of the color selection/slider above the texture?

the preview material shows my material to be a light grey, but it renders as a dark grey (almost black).

thanks.

Hi,
the color in a rendering depends on the lightning of the scene. If you only have a very weak lightning the brightest red will become black for example. So maybe you just have to increase the light intensity.

hi martin... thanks for the reply.

i did think of that but no matter how much i change the lighting the color was always much darker than the texture map.

how does the slider interact with a loaded texture map?
