Object turning grey in rendered view

Question

My sword looks fine in solid view, but when I go into rendered view, it turns completely grey.

I have mipmaps off, texture solid on and i have light.

It looks fine in solid view:

intended coloring ;

But when I switch to rendered view, the sword is entirely grey.

rendered coloring .

i just linked the sword with texture in this file with a minecraft_rig and connected it to the right hand bone but when i go in rendered view it turns grey. I dont know why but i can tell you that i used UV image to add the texture to sword and did not touch materials. — alex, Commented Jun 29, 2015 at 14:32
The sword is only illuminated on the other side, as the sun lamp appears to be pointing slightly towards the camera. Try adding another lamp or some environment lighting in Properties > World. — gandalf3, Commented Jun 29, 2015 at 20:23
Please consider packing textures into your file and uploading it to pasteall or blend-exchange — Mr Zak, Commented Jul 4, 2015 at 14:05
I downloaded the file you linked to in order to try to help, but I got an error; apparently the sword is in a different file. — brasshat, Commented Jul 5, 2015 at 3:24

The sword doesn't have a material assigned to it. Create one and create a texture that uses the image using your UV mapping.

$\begingroup$ is there a way to smooth the texture of sword? i can see in render mode its still kinda blurish or how do you call it. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ try using a larger image. Yours is only 16x16 pixels. $\endgroup$
