Can't See Any Colour

Complex UV Layout in Maya

Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

Ok..so im new at this (have Maya 8.5) and im reading this book that walks me through creating a solar system. I have searched for 3 days for a solution, so now im asking you guys. Now my problem is that even after adding the hypershade to all the planets, they all appear grey in my scene. when i render the frame they are all coloured properly, but not in my display. I have Smooth Shade all selected and everything. And when nothing is clicked they are all white. Is there a way to view everything in colour? thanx. (ps. its a lambert hypershade)

I thing you have to go in to shading, hardware texturing- option box and try changing some of the settings

if that doesnt work i have no idea

it might be a lighting problem but im just shooting in the dark here
