How do I make Ambient Occlusions a different color than black?

[maxixepie]

Right now, I'm playing around with Malt before I use it for my character model. I made an alright skin shader, but my problem is that the Ambient Occlusions are black and I don't know how to change the color.
Sorry if the solution is very simple and I'm just dumb, Malt is very raw and very confusing to me.

Plug the Ambient Occlusion into the position or normal or offset of the NPR diffuse/specular
