Satisfactory has an item called the Color Gun that you can use for changing the color of constructed items. Here is the recipe for building the color gun:

Color Gun Recipe

  • 5 Metal Sheets
  • 80 Screws
  • 40 Copper Wire

Now, you can equip the Color Gun in your hands to bring up the menu. There is a default color you will see in there, which we will list here in case you change it and forget.

Default Colors in Satisfactory

  • Primary Color: 16, 0.93, 0.95
  • Secondary Color: 232, 0.57, 0.26

You can edit the first color on the list, which will automatically change the color of every single thing you have built. Doing this is far easier than manually painting each item by hand, especially if you have many walls and platforms constructed. 

Change the color of your world in Satisfactory
