[Paraview] Constant coloring of surfaces

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Well, there is a workaround to get it in the GUI, but, in the words of Henry
Ford, "You can have any color you want, as long as its black."  Change the
color of the surface to black and turn off any specular highlighting; you
won't be able to see any shading.

It's not a good solution, but it has the benefit of being easy.
