# Palette & Gradient Texturing Palette and Gradient Texturing is one of the most efficient approaches to texturing an asset as it is very fast to do as the assets are usually simpler in nature. It can also be the most optimised as an entire experience can use one material as well as the smallest filesize due to the very limited number of textures.. The disadvantage is that the results can be quite limited in detail in comparison to other approaches. The asset uses a simple texture with all the colors or gradients you want to use on the asset, and you place the UVs of the asset onto those colors or gradients. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://themattempire.gitbook.io/documentation/asset-creation/the-crate-series/palette-and-gradient-texturing.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
