Don't be afraid to open the shader and mess with the colors.
You can attach image maps too.
Here I'm using the "Pickled" shader. It makes the appearance of a nested sphere that is floating in liquid. I grabbed a map of the earth:

Then I attached it to the shader as shown. Click the image to see the the instructions.
Most of the shaders are really easy to do this with as they have a SimpleColor node for you to attach other nodes - just connect an image to the SimpleColor. Set the SimpleColor to White if you want the image colors to show exactly as they are. Or put another color in to "tint" the image.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
