Using texture modes

The Texture mode in TextureAttributes controls how texture pixels affect shape color

REPLACE

Texture color completely replaces the shape's material color
DECAL

Texture color is blended as a decal on top of the shape's material color
MODULATE

BLEND

Texture color blends the shape's material color with an arbitrary blend color
