Compositing node
Color Ramp
Recolors any grayscale source by mapping its brightness onto a custom gradient with up to 32 stops — the classic trick for turning plain noise or a height map into something that looks painted.
What it does
Color Ramp is a compositing node: it layers, masks and routes pictures. It takes picture in and gives picture out.
Try it
Map noise through a five-stop sunset gradient, then use the result as a material's color.
