Render converting all colors to yellow
I'd like to render a few different versions of my model with certain parts
highlighted in specific colors for illustration purposes.
The preview render shows colors correctly, but when I do an F6 full render,
it converts all colors to yellow. Is this a known bug/limitation or is there
anything I can do to fix this?
Even a trivial file like:
color("green") cube([10,10,10]);
renders as yellow.
A similar question
http://forum.openscad.org/Color-in-quot-Compile-and-Render-quot-mode-td4637.html
was asked nearly three years ago, but I don't think this was ever resolved.
I'm using version 2015.03-1 installed from the PPA in Ubuntu 14.
I can't post my library details since the "Help" menu seems to have been
removed in version 2015.03-1 and/or doesn't show up in Gnome-Shell.

That's how OpenSCAD works. Color is only supported by the preview, it's not
supported by rendering or for export. The ability to export colored models
is a future wish list item.

It's a known limitation but if you do color("green") render()
cube([10,10,10]); and hit F5 you will get a coloured full render.

The menu issue is probably an old Ubuntu bug:
