Node panel in Shader Editor

On the right side of the Shader Editor screen, the Node panel displays a visual representation of your nodes and their connections.

• Currently selected nodes appear highlighted and display in a brown color palette.

• Unselected nodes appear in a gray color palette.

  

Connection status

The small circle in the top-right of a node represents its status:

• Green indicates the node is connected.

• Red indicates that something is wrong with the connections.

Connection types

Every connected value must be of the same type. The input and outputs of nodes are color-coded by type. See Connecting nodes.
