Unity3D: How to change Transform's (GameObject's) color?

Question

In old versions of Unity Component's renderer had material, now UnityEngine.Renderer has material, but Component.renderer doesn't have. How can I change the color of my object?

private Transform myTransform;

...

private void changeColor()
{
    myTransform.renderer.**material**.color = Color.red;
    // renderer doesn't have *material*
}

By this thread, try

GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = Color.black;

then maybe try calling `myTransform.GetComponent().material.color = Color.black;` – Ori Frish Oct 08 '15 at 08:33
It warked. But this element doesn't have Renderer, it has MeshRenderer. So, why it warked? – GuRAm Oct 08 '15 at 09:58
@GuRAm it also has the Renderer component, it just has a different access way towards it. – Ori Frish Oct 08 '15 at 10:05
