Hi halx, this didn't make it to the mailing list, so I've quoted it below for
others.

Yep that's how it works ATM, and color() does not survive to rendering.
There has been work to properly colourise things, so it is in progress.

Perhaps @doug.moen can give an update?

The difference() method is painting the cutoff edges by the color of the
removed member if the remaining member is a compound object (two or more
differently colored parts in the module(). So you cannot make a cut-out to
demonstrate/investigate internals of complex geometry. I think it should
be easy to fix.
