Is there a way to assign arbitrary colors to poly groups -
This can be quite handy for modelling complex meshes, to group things cleanly, -
( Kind of like what you see frmo SubD models in Zbrush)
Right now I assign several materials, with selection tags.
Is ther a shader perhaps that will asign dif colors according to selection tags ( that would be seen in the viewport as well though).
Color changer seems to work on per-object basis.

The quickest way I can think of would be to use a combination of Fabian's Split to Objects plugin with Color Changer. The former will automatically split an object into separate objects based upon selection tags. It also gives you an option to back up the original object, so you don't have to lose it.

There is (of course ;)) a plug that does this nicely: RandomMaterial by CAD center. An oldie, but works in 9.1.
