Consider the 3D contour plot generated by:

graph = ContourPlot3D[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 - 1, {x, -2, 2}, {y, -2, 2}, {z, -2,
2}, PlotPoints -> 6];

The following function replaces all polygons in "g" with colored polygons
using a color "f":

ReColor[f_, g_] := 
  g[[1]] /. 
    Polygon[p_] :> Block[{r = Mean[p]}, {f[r], Polygon[p]}]

This example coloring function "f" can be applied to our example contour
plot:

f[{x_, y_, z_}] := RGBColor[(x + 1)/2, (y + 1)/2, (z + 1)/2]

The result can be rendered using:

Show[Graphics3D[ReColor[f, graph]], Lighting -> False]
