The Section View is only a "display" with features that can not be edited. In order to do what you desire, you will have to create a Cut-extrude feature in your assembly. After this, you can select faces and change to colors of the cut components.

Right-click on the surface, change color doesn’t work, so I made a Cut-extrude feature of my assembly. After this I tried to change to colors of the cut components, no problem changing the color of the parts in the assembly, but what I want to do,is to color the face that is left after the section- cut, not the complete part.
Thank you for the "thanks" ... but my post wasn't a tip. Both Ctopher and MadMango had suggested the correct method to do what you needed. My post was just questioning whether you had tried their suggestion correctly.
CBL, thanks for the chivalry. I remember submitting a enhancement request back in SW01 and SW05 to make the cut-face colors able to change in a Section View. It must be fairly low on priorities. Has nothing changed with SW08?
