Is it possible to modify or tint the color of a model through the data editor, or somewhere within Galaxy Editor? I have a custom ability that uses the Guardian Shield as the effect model and the only reference that I see to its color is under the "lighting" field. This field does not seem to have any effect on the look of the model, however.
The original poster (booseek) asked to change the model color and not the actor color. I don't know how to change a model's color either, but I just wanted to point it out.
Actually a healthy combination of both gives the best effects. For example I retextured the football shape emissive with a cloud texture and combined with a yellow tint for a gold look.

Holy necro batman,
but to change a models colours you need to edit the textures to tint using an actor is about all you can do in the data editor.
@Rileyb80: Go
To change the models colors you actually need to be looking at texture by Id. Tinting is not the only option.
