> This page describes the **Color node** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It provides a color value with alpha — and is created automatically when a color swatch is dragged into the Node Editor.

This Node can be used to select a color value or alpha portion.

A color picker's color swatch can be dragged from anywhere into the Node Editor. A Color Node will then automatically be created with the respective color.
