Changing color from C# doesn't affect shader's output color

Unity Engine

Yo, I’m trying to set emissive color from my C# script to my custom shader made in shadergraph. This is how my HDR color variable is defined:

[ColorUsage(false, true)] // HDR color
public Color outlineColor;

and then Start() looks like this:

this.outlineImage?.material.SetColor("_EmissiveColor", outlineColor);

And shader graph’s blackboard contains this:

And “Color” is then directly plugged into “Emission” slot in my HDRP/Unlit master node. The problem is that if I change “outlineColor” in the inspector, the material emission color won’t change on game start. Only if I hardcode the color into the code like instead of using “outlineColor” I use “Color.green”.

Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Any help is much appreciated

If its like the other similar questions people asked in the past, try using sharedMaterial instead of material.

Yea but this is an UI.image which doesn’t have a sharedMaterial, so what should I do then?
