Fedder,
I am assuming that you want to give the objects solid colors with no
shading.
I wonder if the following will help.
gr1 = ParametricPlot3D[ {x, y , 0, Hue[0]},
{x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, PlotPoints -> 3,
Lighting -> False]
gr2 = ParametricPlot3D[ {0, x, y, Hue[.7]},
{x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, PlotPoints -> 3,
Lighting -> False]
Show[gr1, gr2]
If you want to mix such solidly colored objects with ones shaded by
lighting, then that is altogether more difficult.
