How to apply texture and colors in OpenGL?

I’m learning how to apply texture in openGL. I applied a texture to one face of a cube and colored the other faces using primitive colors. Before i apply the texture the colors looked fine, and after i apply it they become darker. what’s wrong? OpenGL is a state machine.

What happens when you stop supplying texture coordinates in OpenGL?

OpenGL is a state machine. This means that the last texture coordinate set will be applied to all following vertices. So even if you stop supplying texture coordinates it will still apply the texture’s colour at the last set texture coordinate applied to the whole faces.

Why are the colors darker after applying texture?

Why does drawing a polygon with color cause texture?

The problem is, when I draw a polygon and specify a color for the vertices using glColor3f, that color appears to effect the colors of the texture and not just the polygon that I drew. So drawing a red polygon appears to “bleed” onto the entire texture and everything appears reddish.

What is the purpose of blending in OpenGL?

Blending in OpenGL is commonly known as the technique to implement transparency within objects. Transparency is all about objects (or parts of them) not having a solid color, but having a combination of colors from the object itself and any other object behind it with varying intensity.
