Hi,

what is with

poly = ContourPlot3D[Evaluate[eq], {x, -1, 3/2}, {y, -1, 3/2}, {z, -1,
3/2},
       PlotPoints -> 35, Axes -> Truel,DisplayFunction->Identity];

Show[poly /. 
    Polygon[pnts_] :> {Hue[(Last[Plus @@ #/Length[#] &[pnts]] + 1)/2.5], 
        Polygon[pnts]}, Lighting ->
False,DisplayFunction->$DisplayFunction]


Regards
  Jens
