How to programmatically change the color/hue of a sprite in Unity?

Question

Unity

You need to somehow programmatically change the color / tint of the sprite, it is desirable to find a simple way, something that came to mind is to make several layers, the first is the base sprite, then there is a series of sprites on top of it with an alpha channel, the color of which will slightly replace the bottom one. But it looks like towns. Is there something easier?

Answer 1

Depending on what the sprite is rendered through.
If through Image (UI) or SpriteRenderer - then this component has a color.
If you don't like how it is applied, write your own shader.
everything is simple.
