Shopping racks

So how annoying is that? I have been making some deco items into shopping racks, and now I discover why all Maxis shopping racks only have one subset. When the rack gets emptied it uses a BHAV to update the material and then the rack subset defaults back to the default colour. You can recolour it back to the correct colour, but still.

gah

Is this a problem for users? Would you download an object that had this glitch?
