**Color Over Lifetime Linear Gradient** component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The ColorOverLifetimeLinearGradient component implements the older color over lifetime system that came from Unity. It allows for particles to change color depending on how long they have existed for.

This component is part of the Photon Dust system made by Frooxius.

A more modern alternative to this with actual editablilty is the ColorOverLifetimeTexture component.
