The embodiment of the invention discloses a color control method and device for a role model. The color control method and the color control device are used for increasing the vividness degree of a role, so that the role has a real-time two-dimensional animation light feeling effect, and the manufacturing efficiency of the role model is improved. The embodiment of the invention provides a color control method for the role model. The color control method comprises the following steps: obtaining a first role model manufactured for the role through a three-dimensional animation; obtaining a basic color map, a shadow mask map and a color-variable map which are respectively configured to the first role model, wherein the basic color map comprises a basic color configured to the role, the shadow mask map comprises light and shadow information on the role at different illumination angles, and the color-variable map comprises a variable color configured to the role; stacking the basic color map, the shadow mask map and the color-variable map on the first role model, thus obtaining a second role model; carrying out color effect adjustment on the second role model according to an illumination angle and the variable color which are required by the role.
