I'm beginner with OpenSCAD; I have created a polyhedron with 7 faces and I would like now to put a different color on each face. Is it possible and how can I do?

Thanks

The only way I know to make an object with different colour faces is to
subtract coloured objects. The cut face then has the colour of the object
subtracted. It defaults to green but you can change that. Here is a
polyhedron with 7 different coloured faces.

You could draw and color each face separately.
