Customizable color material - Blender

Hello,

I am practicing modeling some custom objects using the Blender 3D software and I would like to know what material I should use so I can change the color in FlexSim directly by the color picker.

Also, I am exporting the objects using the Wavefront (.obj) format, does it have something with the possibility to change material colors, or may I continue exporting the objects at this format?

Thanks in advance,

What version of Blender are you using? The material system in Blender is significantly different between 2.79b and 2.8.

Alternatively, you could customize the shape directly in FlexSim. See https://docs.flexsim.com/en/19.2/Reference/3DObjects/SharedTabsProperties/General/#customizeshape
