Changing the Sprite Renderer's Color property has no effect in my Custom Shader

I have a material with custom surface shader of which I want to change the "Color" in the Sprite Renderer. However, changing the values seems to do nothing. Changing the "Tint" in the shader itself works fine, but that changes the color for all my Sprites using this material. Is there a way to propagate the Sprite Renderer's Color value like it works in the "Default-Sprite" material? The shader I'm using:

 Shader "Sprites/Diffuse Flash"
 {
     Properties
     {
         [PerRendererData] _MainTex ("Sprite Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
         //_SelfIllum ("Self Illumination",Range(0.0,1.0)) = 0.0
         [PerRendererData]_FlashAmount ("Flash Amount",Range(0.0,1.0)) = 0.0
         _Color ("Tint", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
         [MaterialToggle] PixelSnap ("Pixel snap", Float) = 0
     }
 
     SubShader
     {
         Tags
         {
             "Queue" = "Transparent"
             "IgnoreProjector" = "True"
             "RenderType" = "Transparent"
             "PreviewType" = "Plane"
             "CanUseSpriteAtlas" = "True"
         }
 
         Cull Off
         Lighting Off
         ZWrite Off
         Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
 
         CGPROGRAM
 
         #pragma surface surf Lambert alpha:fade vertex:vert
         #pragma multi_compile DUMMY PIXELSNAP_ON
 
         sampler2D _MainTex;
         fixed4 _Color;
         float _FlashAmount,_SelfIllum;
 
         struct Input
         {
             float2 uv_MainTex;
             fixed4 color;
         };
 
         void vert(inout appdata_full v, out Input o)
         {
             #if defined(PIXELSNAP_ON) && !defined(SHADER_API_FLASH)
             v.vertex = UnityPixelSnap(v.vertex);
             #endif
             v.normal = float3(0,0,-1);
 
             UNITY_INITIALIZE_OUTPUT(Input, o);
             o.color = _Color;
         }
 
         void surf(Input IN, inout SurfaceOutput o)
         {
             fixed4 c = tex2D(_MainTex, IN.uv_MainTex) * _Color;
             o.Albedo = lerp(c.rgb,float3(1.0,1.0,1.0),_FlashAmount);
             //o.Emission = lerp(c.rgb,float3(1.0,1.0,1.0),_FlashAmount) * _SelfIllum;
             o.Alpha = c.a;
         }
     ENDCG
     }
 }
