Hey, here is an example that works in Gazebo 1.2.5:

    <material>
      <script>
        <uri>file://media/materials/scripts/gazebo.material</uri>
        <name>Gazebo/Grey</name>
      </script>
    </material>

Are you using this code in a URDF file or a SDF file?

Check out the SDF documentation: http://gazebosim.org/sdf

This doesn't work for me. I try to spawn e.g. a simple box from an urdf.xacro-file. And it always is white in Gazebo (2.2.3). Is there another way, that allows me to set the color?

It's a bit late -- but I'd might as well leave an answer here.

You can modify the colour by changing the appropriate tag in the URDF file of the model/object you're playing with.

In the example posted here, you can change the tag

<material>Gazebo/Blue</material>

To whatever you want.

For fuerte, the list of available materials is in the file:

/opt/ros/fuerte/stacks/simulator_gazebo/gazebo/gazebo/share/gazebo-1.0.2/Media/materials/scripts/Gazebo.material

Hi, the example you have given is for the older gazebo version (v1.0).

Yup! It's for the version of Gazebo that came with Fuerte.
