V-Ray Next for SketchUp, Update 1.1 added support of SketchUp’s texture colorization. To enable it, click on the “Colorize Textures” option in the SketchUp menu _Extensions \> V-Ray \> Tools_.  
You can read more about it at [Chaos Docs](https://docs.chaosgroup.com/display/VNFS/Materials#Materials-ColorizeTextures(WIP)).
