Changing material changes the part color-but I dont want it to!
(OP)
I'm going thru an assembly and changeing the part materials. When I do so on each part the color of the part changes to the material's specified color, and I dont want it to. Is there a defaultable setting that I can make this stop?

You could create your own custom materials and apply your choice of colours.

When window opens, select the "Appearance" tab. Uncheck the "Apply appearance" box.

Anyhow, If you change the material by right-click and select 'edit material' (instead of directly selecting from the list of recent materials used) there will be a box pre-selected that reads 'Use material color'. You can deselect this and it will maintain your previously chosen color(s).

one way is to like "CorBlimeyLimey" mension
"You could create your own custom materials and apply your choice of colours."
The second and simpel way is, but the material first, then change the color...
I don`t unerstand, way you have to change the material all the time ?
