Instead of bitmaps, procedural textures can be used.
The syntax for those is #(argb,8,8,3)color(R,G,B,A), where R,G,B stands for Red, Green, Blue, and A stands for Alpha, all values can be anything between 0 and 1 (including decimals). e.g._obj setObjectTexture [0,'#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,1,0,1)']
would color myObj in flat green. See Procedural Textures for more details. - Posted on August 25, 2014 - 22:27 (EST)

Also works with absolute path and .jpg files.
_obj setObjectTexture [0, "C:\Folder\Folder\Texture.paa"]; _obj setObjectTexture [0, "C:\Folder\Folder\Texture.jpg"];
Texture can also be blank:_obj setObjectTexture [2,""];
This will make the texture selection invisible on certain units without an error message. In some cases this is a desirable effect

It is also possible to apply texture to unit's backpack, as it also has hidden selection (unfortunately does not work for vests)
(backpackContainer player) setObjectTexture [0,'#(argb,8,8,3)color(0,0,0,1)']
Also keep in mind that player's custom texture is being reset when you open BIS Arsenal (even without changing any gear)

You can also use the gameinternal skins: List of MH9 Skins
_obj setObjectTexture [0, "\a3\air_f\heli_light_01\data\skins\heli_light_01_ext_digital_co.paa"];

Sometimes it could be necessary to set default material on an object for the texture to take effect:
_block = createVehicle ["Land_VR_Block_02_F", player getPos [20, getDir player], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; _block setObjectMaterial [0, "\a3\data_f\default.rvmat"]; _block setObjectTexture [0, "#(rgb,8,8,3)color(1,0,0,1)"];
