setColorizationFactor

Specifies colorization amount applied to the background and foreground of the current color scheme and the specific control. By default, when the application does not use any custom colors, all the controls are painted with the colors of the current color scheme / skin. The colors coming from the look-and-feel implement the marker UIResource interface which allows the UI delegates to differentiate between application-specific colors which are not changed, and the LAF-provide colors that are changed on LAF switch.

Calling this method installs the "smart colorization" mode which uses the colors of the current color scheme and the custom background / foreground colors (when installed by application) to colorize the relevant portions of the control. For example, on checkbox the custom background color will be used to colorize the check box itself, while the custom foreground color will be applied to the check box text and the check mark.

Value of 0.0 of colorization amount results in Radiance completely ignoring the custom application background and foreground colors set on the components - no colorization. Values closer to 1.0 result in almost full usage of the custom application background and foreground colors set on the components. Note that in order to maintain the gradients (fill, border, etc), even value of 1.0 does not result in full custom color being applied to the relevant visuals of the control.

Calling this method applies colorization amount to the component / container itself and all its children that do not call this method.

The default colorization amount (when this method is not called at all) is 0.5. This means that applications that install custom background / foreground colors on their UI controls will see them colorized with 50% "strength", even without calling this method.
