Thanks
I will do some test and see which option is best for my need.
Harald :
You can quite easily create your own modified copy (or replacement) of the Skeleton PMA Multiply shader. You just have to add the relevant parts from the Skeleton Tint shader
I finally tried the tint black approach recently. I modified the mentioned 3 lines in the shader but the sprites which use multiply blend mode display pure purple color. Is there something else I need to do to make it work?
Here is the modified shader:
// Spine/Skeleton PMA Multiply
// - single color multiply tint
// - unlit
// - Premultiplied alpha Multiply blending
// - No depth, no backface culling, no fog.
// - ShadowCaster pass
Shader "Spine/Blend Modes/Skeleton PMA Multiply" {
Properties {
_Color ("Tint Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_Black("Dark Color", Color) = (0,0,0,0)

[Toggle(_STRAIGHT_ALPHA_INPUT)] _StraightAlphaInput("Straight Alpha Texture", Int) = 0
_Cutoff ("Shadow alpha cutoff", Range(0,1)) = 0.1
[HideInInspector] _StencilRef("Stencil Reference", Float) = 1.0
[HideInInspector][Enum(UnityEngine.Rendering.CompareFunction)] _StencilComp("Stencil Comparison", Float) = 8 // Set to Always as default
// Outline properties are drawn via custom editor.
[HideInInspector] _OutlineWidth("Outline Width", Range(0,8)) = 3.0
[HideInInspector] _OutlineColor("Outline Color", Color) = (1,1,0,1)
[HideInInspector] _OutlineReferenceTexWidth("Reference Texture Width", Int) = 1024
[HideInInspector] _ThresholdEnd("Outline Threshold", Range(0,1)) = 0.25
[HideInInspector] _OutlineSmoothness("Outline Smoothness", Range(0,1)) = 1.0
[HideInInspector][MaterialToggle(_USE8NEIGHBOURHOOD_ON)] _Use8Neighbourhood("Sample 8 Neighbours", Float) = 1
