I am pretty sure my solution works too:
If I remember correctly the color codes for the rendering engine are placed
in the render file just not referenced properly. All you have to do is go
down to where it assigns the color to the object and change it from 7
(Because it always defaults to grey) to the proper color.
Poof. Renders in the right color.
Helps to know a teeny weeny about how the render files work so that you know
what to change and know how to tell if the color IS included. (Cuz I could
be wrong) but its a fairly simple change.
