Objects gray when rendered

Question

I cant seem to figure out coloring through this tutorial I'm using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-iKFazCaeQ
I follow what this person does and mine stays gray.

Anyone got any tips or a better way to do this?

Make sure that you did not set a material in the layer settings. Read: Object turns white when rendering/render Layer Colors disappear — , Mar 22 '18 at 05:09

It looks to me like you have two materials on that object. I'm guessing the second material (the one you edited to have some color) is not assigned to the mesh anywhere.

In edit mode select the whole object A A. Now click on the material in the list (yours is called "Material.002") and press the Assign button.

Now if you are not using the first material for anything you can simply remove it. Go to Object mode (you can not remove material slots in edit mode), with the first material selected click on the minus button on the right.

Make sure you unwrap the material onto the object by selecting all the faces in edit mode and clicking U then unwrap. If the material goes on warped then you can either project from view or by marking seams.

look at his nodes, he does not have any image in the material. Thus UV unwrapping does not matter. – David Mar 22 '18 at 13:54
