Also, manually editing the OS text file to create a unique Rendering Color for a specific Construction is pretty quick. Assuming the Construction was created as a modified duplicate from a pre-existing Construction, then they will both have the same Handle to a single Rendering Color. I copy-pasted the Rendering Color and changed the handle of the new Color by a single character. Then I modified the corresponding Handle that is an attribute of the Construction that I wanted to re-Color. Save, and voila, I get a unique color in the Sketchup Render by Construction view mode.
Now that I know that if I "duplicate and modify" a construction I won't get a unique color, I will start to create my unique constructions from scratch: seems to be the fastest way to get a unique Rendering Color.
