How to remove a face color?

I changed COLOR of a face and now can't remove it. There isno option to remove color.

I found a workaround.
Change the face to an appearance. Close the appearance manager.Edit the face appearances again and click "remove appearances"button. The face reverts to base color.

Whew.
If someone has a better way...

Is this a bug? Is this planned? Am I special Ed again?
Will this be fixed or are "colors" soon to be removed like textureswere?
