problem with texture mapping & coloring

i made a progarm that creates 3d rooms connected between them & the camera navigates between the rooms. all the walls are texture mapped.
now when i add a colored object to the room (a red cube) the whole scene is colored in transparent red, why?? how do i get rid of it??
thanx

By default the textures will be modulated with the current color so since you change the color to red the textures will be modulated with red instead of white.

that means that after you draw your red object, you should switch back to white (with a simple glColor(1,1,1) or something…)
