Changing the Color effect of instances
The Color Effect option in the Properties inspector allows you to change several
properties of any instance. These properties include brightness, tint, or alpha.
Brightness controls how dark or light the instance appears, tint controls the over-
all coloring, and alpha controls the level of opacity. Decreasing the alpha value
decreases the opacity and increases the amount of transparency.
