I am trying to do a 2 color print with the second color being a section
through the middle of the first.
In this example the main object is a cube(20) and the section is rotated
and is larger than the main object. The first color is the difference
between the main object and the overlay, the second is the intersection
of the two.
When I color the second part with green and combining the two I was
expecting to see the two parts in different colors. What I got is:
The image on the left should be a natural color cube with the green
section through the middle.

when you combine two coloured objects, to make a single object, it takes
the colour of the last object in the list, afaik. If you want to see
separate colours, then make the insert a bit smaller, say, so it does
not touch the cube to make a single object.
translate([-22,0,0]) {
//color("red")
extruder0();
//color("red")
color("green")
// scale([0.99,0.99,0.99])
extruder1();
color("red")
extruder0();
}
remove the comments, move the parts around, see what happens.

I have a number of coloured assembly diagrams - that I produce by exporting the individual parts as STL files then importing and colouring them in a separate assembly scad file…
Love to know if there was an easier way - but this works for me.

You can use render() instead of exporting and importing the STL. I do that
for assembly views in the GUI but when making assembly diagrams from the
command line I know the STLS have been created first, so I do import them
to speed things up.

Thanks nop head -- render does the trick;
render() extruder0();
color("green") render() extruder1();
shows the insert in color without distorting the geometry.

BOSL2 has some features for giving better control of color. However, for
them to work your objects have to be "attachable" which requires some extra
effort.
BOSL2 supplies a recolor() module that changes the color of the children,
and a color_this() module that colors at one level, with color reverting in
the children. See below for examples.
