RE: select faces on a solid by tangent chaining
And before you ask, when you need to select a 'Curve', you'll find that there are NINE different selection 'rules' available. Even when you're asked to select an entire 'Body', something where you wouldn't think there was a need for any 'rules', you're given THREE to choose from.
I think we've got this issue pretty well covered in terms of how we provide you tools which help you to easily select what you wish to and avoid selecting that which you do not.

Insert -> Synchronous Modeling -> Color Face...
...and before you select any faces set your desired color. You can now select your faces using the 'Tangent Faces' rule.

As an alternative, you can use "group face" (select tangent faces) and "assign feature color" to do essentially the same thing.

Also, CNSZU put out a tool a while back that might be of interest.
