Color variable not synchronizing across network

I have a multiplayer game where clients connect and they generate a random color for themselves. I'm having problems getting the color value generated to get push to the server so that the server can push it to clients.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using UnityEngine.Networking;
4.  
5. public class TankIdentity : NetworkBehaviour{
6.  
7.    private System.Random rand;
8.    [SyncVar] private Color color;
9.  
10.    void Awake(){
11.       rand = new System.Random();
12.    }
13.  
14.    public override void OnStartLocalPlayer(){
15.       GenerateRandColor();
16.    }
17.  
18.    public void GenerateRandColor(){
19.       byte r = (byte)rand.Next(0, 255);
20.       byte g = (byte)rand.Next(0, 255);
21.       byte b = (byte)rand.Next(0, 255);
22.  
23.       color = new Color32(r, g, b, 255);
24.  
25.       CmdIterateChildren_(gameObject);
26.  
27.    }
28.  
29.    [Command]
30.    private void CmdIterateChildren_(GameObject body){
31.       if(body.transform.childCount == 0){
32.          if(body.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>() != null){
33.             body.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color = this.color;
34.          }
35.          return;
36.       }
37.  
38.       for(int i = 0; i < body.transform.childCount; i++){
39.          if(body.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>() != null){
40.             body.transform.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material.color = this.color;
41.          }
42.          CmdIterateChildren_(body.transform.GetChild(i).gameObject);
43.       }
44.    }
45. }
46.  

 

Still can't get this working

Code (CSharp):

1. [SyncVar]
2.    private Color color;
3.  
4.    void Start(){
5.  
6.       if(isLocalPlayer){
7.          float r = Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f);
8.          float g = Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f);
9.          float b = Random.Range(0.0f, 1.0f);
10.  
11.          this.color = new Color(r, b, g, 1.0f);
12.       }
13.  
14.       foreach(MeshRenderer mesh in GetComponentsInChildren<MeshRenderer>()){
15.          mesh.material.color = this.color;
16.       }
17.    }

Other players are either totally different colors or black.

 

SyncVar automatically makes the server call to update other clients, right? So if a client sets their [SyncVar] Color color to something then it shuold get pushed to the server and updated for all teh clients, right?

 

SyncVars only push from Server --> Client, not from Client --> Server

The only 2 ways to send data from Client --> Server are
1: [Command]
2: MessageBase
