# colorize(withColorBlendFactor:duration:)

Creates an action that animates a sprite’s blend factor.

## Declaration

```swift
class func colorize(withColorBlendFactor colorBlendFactor: CGFloat, duration sec: TimeInterval) -> SKAction
```

## Parameters

- `colorBlendFactor`: The new blend factor for the sprite.
- `sec`: The duration of the animation.

## Return Value

Return Value A new action object.

## Discussion

Discussion This action can only be executed by an SKSpriteNode object. When the action executes, the sprite’s colorBlendFactor property animates to the new value. This action is not reversible; the reverse of this action does nothing.
