Importing parts colors in an assembly

Here is a true newbie question. When creating an assembly outof several parts I am unable to display the part colors. Everythingtakes on the appearance of the top level part which happens to be adark grey molded plastic case. As you might imagine the assembly isnot very exciting looking. I am positive I am missing one check-boxsomewhere, but I have clicked on just about anything having to dowith document level or component level properties without anychange.

I have been through all of the tutorials and my two Solidworksbooks, but none of these resources has any info on this.
