Well, actually this is exactly how light in real life are working :slight_smile: The bounced light will be colored by the color that has the surface.

But if you want to change that, you can use **GIReplace **node in your green material, which will allow you to completely change color of reflected (or bounced) light.
You can found description of that node here:

They are pretty easy to use :slight_smile:

ah nice! thx for reason.
what texture would you use to make the gireplace? so that it looks like the 1st screen?

a white texture?
i’m absolute beginner on ue4 lightning…

You actually dont need any second texture. You can use just a **Constant3vector **node which allow you to change the color of bounced light.
If a using white color in **Staticindirect input of GIReplace **node, all bounced red color on the floor would be clear white.
