What does this command do? Thanks! Absolutely new to openGl and trying to dice down each command. Thanks!
BTW I have a cube that spins but I can’t changes it color. I put glColor3f(0.0f,0.0f,1.0f); before the vertexes but no color changes! Any help would be nice. Thanks!

This specifies the normal for the next vertex. (normals are used for lighting calculations etc.)
A normal specifies how the surface will be lit. Usually, if you don’t want smoothing it will the a normalized (size 1) perpendicular to the polygon. However when you want smooth surfaces then the normal at a vertice is the normalised (meaning size 1) of the normals of all the polygons that share the vertice.
