# Solid Color Brush Blend Effects

### <a class="anchor" id="bkmrk--7"></a>SolidColorBrushBlend

A Solid Color Node is used to display a colored rectangle. When creating a SolidColorNode by clicking the "magnifyingglass"-icon, this is a Node2D with a SolidColorBrushBlend effect on it.

### <a class="anchor" id="bkmrk--12"></a>SolidColorBrushColorBlend

A SolidColorBrushColorBlend effect adds a color effect to the existing SolidColorBrushBlend effect. It multiplies the <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">[FillColor](https://doc316en.candera.eu/link/603#bkmrk-fillcolor)</span> with the <span style="color: rgb(230, 126, 35);">[Color](https://doc316en.candera.eu/link/603#bkmrk-color-0)</span>. This effect can be useful when it comes to reusing ColorEffects out of an effect, to multiply a color with the actual color to blit; especially in cases where the original color should be preserved, but should be changed for certain effects.
