Dear all,
Is is possible to fill with a given color the volume given by the
intersection between two solid 3D objects in OpenSCAD? For example, I would
like the intersection between the two spheres in the example to be in blue.

color([1,0,0,0.5]) translate([0.5,0,0]) sphere(1,$fn=100);
color([1,0,0,0.5]) translate([2,0,0]) sphere(1,$fn=100);

Tank you for your help.

Thank you. This colors in blue only one of the two 'lenses' that form the
surface of the intersection. Is there a way to color the entire surface?

best,

This might give you some visual idea:

module obj1() sphere(1,$fn=100);
module obj2() translate([1.5,0,0]) obj1();
module inter() intersection() {obj1();obj2(2);}

color("gold")
{
translate( [-0.3,0,0] )
difference() {obj1();inter();}
translate( [0.3,0,0] )
difference() {obj2();inter();}
}
color("blue")inter();
