This script allows you to set a color for each material chosen from the Alibre Material library.
For each material in the library, a color must be added following the RGB scheme like example.
Once the material is selected and the script is run,
it will apply the color set in the script with just a few clicks.

Version 2.0: Added all standard materials from the Alibre library and the materials attached by Harold for Keyshot.
The script has been restructured with a more functional and concise dictionary.
An error message has been added if the material is not found in the libraries.
