unsigned char face_y_plus[3] = { 0,0,255 };

face_colors->InsertNextTypedTuple(face_x_minus);
face_colors->InsertNextTypedTuple(face_x_plus);

face_colors->InsertNextTypedTuple(face_y_plus);
face_colors->InsertNextTypedTuple(face_z_minus);
face_colors->InsertNextTypedTuple(face_z_plus);
```
Anyways, follow attached the modified example I made to test it. [main.cpp](https://discourse.vtk.org/uploads/default/original/1X/5c76b2bfcf82184e6b26092cde947216a47f511a.cpp) (4.6 KB)
Hope this is useful.
Have a fruitful week!
Rodrigo Figueiredo.

That is a really nice approach and very ingenious. Would you like to contribute it to VTKExamples? I would be glad to help or add it for you.

Dear Rodrigo,
I would like to really thank you very much for taking the time to provide such a complete reply to my post: your suggestion is very smart, and it works indeed!
For those working with Java (like me), I would just like to mention that some of the methods that you used on vtkUnsignedCharArray are not available, hence here is the Java equivalent of that portion:
======
```
vtkCubeSource cubeSource = new vtkCubeSource();
cubeSource.Update();
vtkUnsignedCharArray faceColors = new vtkUnsignedCharArray();
faceColors.SetNumberOfComponents(3);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(255, 0, 0);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(255, 0, 0);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(0, 255, 0);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(0, 255, 0);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(0, 0, 255);
faceColors.InsertNextTuple3(0, 0, 255);
cubeSource.GetOutput().GetCellData().SetScalars(faceColors);
cubeSource.Update();
vtkPolyDataMapper cubeMapper = new vtkPolyDataMapper();
cubeMapper.SetInputData(cubeSource.GetOutput());
cubeMapper.Update();
vtkActor cubeActor = new vtkActor();
cubeActor.SetMapper(cubeMapper);
vtkPropAssembly propAssembly = new vtkPropAssembly();
propAssembly.AddPart(orientMarkerCubeProp);
propAssembly.AddPart(cubeActor);
```
======
Once again, thanks a lot, you solved my problem man!
Best regards,
Marco Sambin

Thanks!
If you consider that this would be a useful contribution, I would be interested in seeing how you did it afterwards, since I don’t know how to do it.
And @Marco, I’m glad it helped 😉
All the best,
Rodrigo Figueiredo.

@figueiredo I’ll do a C++ and Python version for the VTK Examples.

The examples are here [(C++)](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/VisualizationAlgorithms/ColoredAnnotatedCube/) and here [(Python)](https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Python/VisualizationAlgorithms/ColoredAnnotatedCube/).
Thanks once again @figueiredo for the idea.
