Hi Flavio I haven't tested this technique but something I was thinking of trying since we are about to do the same with particles. Try using a material proxy for the material that your particle is going to use, and control the color / tinting that way. AFAIK there aren't many ways for the particle to take information from code other than CPs, and AFAIK there aren't too many good ways to use the Initializers to turn information back into color unless you have engine access.
