The “stripe” on the launchpad colored correctly in material preview, but turns black in the render.

Interesting. What nodes or settings do you have for that material, and is the final render using Eevee or Cycles?

I actually have no idea now.  Whenever I was trying to fix it, the material I made for the stripe updated to whatever the black material was even though I didn’t press anything other than selecting the original material in the list.  A mystery!  I just re-assigned it the same material as the base of the launchpad to feign the color.

It might be because I accidentally applied the glowing effect to the stripe instead of to the placeholder particle for the smoke, but I thought I had returned it to how it was before I made that mistake.  Apparently not!

That could be! If you don’t figure it out, feel free to upload the file to pasteall.org or something and share it here.
