Color lost in translation (or any operation)

[BarbourSmith]

I'm seeing some behavior which is different from what I would expect. My solids are losing their color when they are translated or operated on in any other way (ie booleans).

Is this the desired behavior? I remember V1 working differently and I would advocate for solids holding their color through operations.

Here's a quick example which shows the behavior in jscad.xyz

const jscad = require('@jscad/modeling')
const { colorize, colorNameToRgb } = jscad.colors
const { sphere } = jscad.primitives
const { translate } = jscad.transforms

const main = () => {
  
  const colorSphere = colorize(colorNameToRgb('red'), sphere())
  
  const translatedSphere = translate([5, 0, 0], colorSphere)
  

  return [
    colorSphere,
    translatedSphere
  ]
}

module.exports = { main }

I would expect to see two red spheres, but instead I see:

Is this a bug?

@BarbourSmith well... let's call it a feature of V2.

colors should be added as the last step, after all operations are completed.

@BarbourSmith there's an open issue about this as well.

Thanks! I'll give it a comment of support there
