About Wireframe Color Tools

Wireframe Color Tools is a Blender add-on from Lumpengnom designed to improve viewport readability when wireframes overlap. It works by applying object colors, which become visible when viewport shading is set to display object colors. The add-on offers four methods: Set Color (applies one color to multiple objects), Set Color Range (assigns colors across a chosen spectrum), Random Color (gives each selected object a random color), and Get from Material (uses each object’s material color). Version 1.0.0 is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and requires no special permissions. It is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 or later and is listed in the blender_extensions library.

Features

  • Set Color applies one object color to multiple objects at once
  • Set Color Range sets objects to a range of colors of your choice
  • Random Color assigns a random object color to selected objects
  • Get from Material sets selected objects to the viewport color of their materials
  • Works through Blender’s object colors, with viewport shading set to display object colors

Best for

Blender users who need to clarify cluttered viewports caused by overlapping wireframes.
