### **Example: Random Color Map**
The **Random Color Map** parameter allows the user to provide a texture map for randomizing the stochastic flake colors. It is only accessible when **Colored Flakes** is set to **Random from Map**. Random colors are generated by sampling the horizontal row of pixels at the very bottom of the map along the U-axis. The sample area is only 1 pixel tall; the rest of the map is ignored.
