Hi, thanks for the response. My problem isn't that I want to change the 
object color, I want to have the values of the colors of the faces so 
that I can use them elsewhere. I am taking each face from a polyhedron 
and displaying it as a flat polygon, but I want the polygon to have the 
same color as it has on the polyhedron (the outside face, specifically). 
Any ideas on how to do such a thing?

Thanks,
AJ
