# particleColor

The average initial color for a particle.

## Declaration

```swift
var particleColor: UIColor { get set }
```

```swift
var particleColor: NSColor { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default value is [SKColor clearColor]. A particle’s color is blended with the texture using its blend color factor. See SKEmitterNode. important: If you create an SKEmitterNode object using Xcode’s particle editor, it uses the particleColorSequence property to implement the color change. This means that the particleColor property is ignored.
