Hey Juango- Do you have a simple hip file you could post that shows the correct workflow to get the age attribute on a particle system to drive the color ramp? We have been trying to access the age attribute using a Float_Vertex_Attribute node fed into a range tool to remap the values to 0-1, then feed that into a gradient, but it doesn't respect the age attribute at all and I feel we must be missing a step somewhere along the process. Any info you could supply would be helpful! Thank you!

You need to use normalized age (@nage).
Here you go.

Thanks for this! Had no idea about the normalized age:)
