Why we like it

Quick Face Color stands out in the superhive library for collapsing the usual create-name-assign-switch-select material routine into a single button press, backed by a material reuse system that keeps a project free of duplicate materials.

What is Quick Face Color?

Quick Face Color is a lightweight Blender addon for fast color assignment during modeling, concepting, and look-development. In Object Mode it colors the entire mesh, and in Edit Mode it colors only the selected faces. The process is a single button press: select an object or faces, pick a color, and click Assign To Object or Faces. The addon handles the material slots for you.

Material management runs automatically. Quick Face Color creates and reuses materials based on their RGB values, so there are no duplicates or manual cleanup. Materials are generated using the Principled BSDF shader and stored cleanly in your project, and the addon uses Blender's node system safely without overwriting existing materials. A custom color picker lets you apply any color, a built-in palette covers commonly used colors, and the panel can display your own PNG logo.

The addon lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0 and works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It suits hard-surface modeling, concept art, kitbashing, rapid prototyping, teaching and demonstrations, and clean visual organization. Quick Face Color is distributed under the GPL license.

Frequently asked questions

What Blender versions does Quick Face Color support?

Quick Face Color lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.0 through 5.0 and is described as Blender 4.0+ ready. It uses Blender's node system safely, so it fits into recent releases without extra setup. If you are on an older or newer build than the stated range, check the developer's page before installing to confirm the addon runs as expected on your specific Blender version and render setup.

How do I install Quick Face Color in Blender?

Quick Face Color installs from a single .py file. Download the file, then open Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install, select the file, and enable the addon. Once it is active, open the N-Panel and find it under the Quick tab as Quick Face Color. From there you select an object or faces, pick a color, and click Assign To Object or Faces to apply it.

Which render engines does Quick Face Color work with?

Quick Face Color works with the Cycles and Eevee render engines. It generates materials using the Principled BSDF shader and stores them cleanly in your project, so the colors you assign carry through to either engine. Because it creates and reuses materials based on RGB values, repeated colors do not pile up as duplicates in your material list, which keeps things tidy as you work.

Does Quick Face Color overwrite existing materials?

Quick Face Color never overwrites existing materials. It uses Blender's node system safely, creating and reusing materials based on their RGB values so you do not end up with duplicates or clutter. When you assign a color, the addon handles the material slots for you automatically, and it works in both Object Mode for the whole mesh and Edit Mode for the selected faces.

Is Quick Face Color free to use?

Quick Face Color is listed as free in this catalog and ships under the GPL license. Pricing and licensing can change over time, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The lightweight addon installs from a single .py file and includes the color panel, a one-click color operator, a quick color palette, an automatic material reuse system, and custom logo loading.
