3D cube with multi colored faces?

Hello.

As a small portion of a project, I am trying to create a 3D plot of a rubix cube. I want a cube with each face being broken into a 3x3 grid where I can assign each square a color.

My initial thought was to (somehow) create 6 surfaces that have a corresponding 3x3 matrix consisting to integers. Where each integer corresponds to a specific color I define. I would then use a custom colormap to color the faces.

Not sure if this is the correct way to go about it. I haven't worked out the actual code yet, I've been struggling with it a bit and it seems a little cumbersome.

Are there any simpler ways to produce a cube where I can define each face to have a 3x3 grid of color?

Thanks in advance, Nicholas

I think I would use a for-loop with a patch inside it. I bet there is a much better way, but at least your idea should work.
