Coloring in GLSL overwrites any colors you introduced into your application. But OpenGL can pass your colors to GLSL for you to use.
Along with assigning colours to objects, did you know you can also set colours to individual vertices? Well yes, yes you can.
Colour is one of the fundamental building blocks of a scene. Colours can be used to portray mood, realsim, fictions, intensity, or anything else. It's up to the artist, and in this case, you are the artist.
