Surface colour inheritance option

Hi folks,

I'm finding that when I use a surface feature (from a geom set) in a body through, say, Close Surface or Split (using a surface), the colour of the surface is inherited by the new faces in the body. They retain that colouring persistently until I select each face patch and set its colour manually and then they are independent of the body colour.

Can anyone help me with the setting to prevent the new faces inheriting the colour of the surface features, and/or enforce the use of the body colour?

Many thanks
