Well maybe all the sides share the same Appearance? So if you change it of
course all the others will change, too. Try this:
newAppearance = new Appearance();
.
.
.
.
get all the settings from the old and add them to the new
and finally set
newAppearance.setColoringAttributes(new ColoringAttributes(....))
rearWallShape3D.setAppearance(newAppearance);

Nope. You can have two sided lighting yes (with OpenGL, see recent
posting from John Wright and me) but it will take the same
material/color as from the frontface. The only way to change this would be
to use a different lightsource inside the cube.
