Pull Request BogdanNagirniak/blender-addons#10
### Purpose
Transmission color doesn't affect the render result.
### Technical steps
Used base_color for specular_color, transmission_color, sheen_color, and coat_color instead of DEFAULT_WHITE_COLOR.
The difference between standard_surface and Principled BSDF is that the latter shares `base color` between diffuse reflection and refraction components.
Removes redundant code.
