Apply color to text with material color

Question

Using TextMeshPro, I would need to apply color to a specific section of the text but at the same time the default text has material color applied.

string text = "Here is default text with brown text\u003Ccolor=#4186FC>Blue text here\u003C/color>"

The problem is that the final result is the multiplication of both color and then the blue part resolves as almost black. If material color is white then no problem.

Would there be a way to cancel the material on this part without making two different text objects?

You are going to want to use Rich Text. For your example you'd want to use the <color> tag. Here's how it would look

string text = "Here is default text with brown <color=#4186F>Blue text here</color>"

There's a bunch of other parts of the text you can change in the same text field using these tags, so be sure to read into the link.
