Colors are in Inventor under Format > Color > Texture tab. There are
some wood patterns there, more may be added by scanning and converting
to a bitmap. Save out a new color based upon your selection. This must
be done in a template files (ipt, iam) to preserve the new color.
For material properties, Go to Tools > Materials and create a new
material. Again, set up the material formats that you use most often in
the template files that you use to create new parts and assemblies.
