Via vertexmap tags or effectors. But it may not be well if you have animated distribution objects. Other than this I'll advice to use cloners.

Hi Akotar,

We're hoping you can include an option to make octane materials more compatible with C4D hair. C4D Hair material has a standard texture for the 'color' channel that will give every hair a uv map (suitable for feathers on cards), but also add a 'roots' or 'tips' node where you can use the body texture in order to determine color distribution per hair.

Would this be possible? Hopefully my attatchment helps.

You can only give different colors to per hairs by root texture. Also you can generate some gradient accross hairs by using w_coordinate texture. You can mix two textures via w_coordinate value to give different colors from root to tips.
