Why is my plane not changing colors?

This should be a simple one, but I’m an absolute beginner. I’m trying to add a Material component to a plane with an albedio in that’s cyan. I can see in the plane’s inspector that the material is applied, but it will not change colors from black to cyan.

I’m in scene view and my game is not running.

I hope this isn’t too dumb of a question. Thank you.

You need a light in your scene. Without any light, pretty much everything looks black…
