How to change colour on textured (leather) apperance?

[raphaelNQSHR]

Dear beautiful people,

Im stuck ahead of my first rendering.

I've modeled a handbag with the Leather (Matte) texture which id like to render in several different colors. Only how do I change those? When right-clicking in the appearance menu I don't get the usual UI for the colour matrix.

Thank's in advance for your help!

All the best,

Raph.

I think you can manually change the color by clicking the dropdown arrow and changing from "image" to "color" (as shown)?

You just need to right click on the color then selec edit option. After that click on drop down arrow and select the color of your choice. Follow the steps given on the following screen cast, it will be more easy for you to understand and get your issue sorted out.

Thank You!

I could be wrong, but it looks like you just swapped out a solid color for the leather texture. You didn't actually change the color of the leather.
I'm having the same issue as the OP. 
I can't keep a texture, but just change the color a bit. Like making a darker wood, more blonde color. I want to see the same texture, just modify the color.
Is this possible.

The leather textures are image-based textures, meaning an image is mapped onto the geometry. This isn't just one image. It can be a number of images. One for the base color, one for the bump or normal map. Another one can be used to modulate the roughness of the material.

You'd have to track down the location and find the image that defines the base color and modify hat using image manipulation software such as Photoshop, GIMP, Pixelmator etc.
