Hello, can you share with us a screenshot of the properties panel of 3D & materials? If you apply a material you should find something like color with a little square of the color. My Ui is in French but you should  find the way 😉

The first thing I did was google it I found immediatly how to change the color on youtube, the thing is my illustrator doesn't show those options. I assumed it must be the new update, some bug.

Here are the options I see. AI version 26.3.1 on Windows:

It could be a Mac OS issue? @Anubhav M can you advise?


Hello you have the color just under repeat on your screenshot. Clic on the yellow square and you can change the color 😉

Different materials have different parameters that can be changed. Which material are you using? Can you show a screenshot of the colour options?
