Tool shank color

Hello everyone,

It would be visually nice if the user could change the color of the tool shank or non-cutting edges of the tool. When rendering, the whole tool is displayed as one color and it’s impossible to distinguish flute from shank.
Now, I realize this could be achieved by adding a holder component that defines the tool’s shank, but that requires a little more input. In fact, I use this process for form tools that have multiple cutting edges and it works great. But what I’m asking for refers to common standard tools.  Something simple.  See attachment.

Of course, this is nothing critical and would only be a visual enhancement.
