waterfall colours

I have created a waterfall plot showing several sets of FFT data (using the built in waterfall function).

I want each set to be a different colour, but the only colouration that seems possible is in the z direction. My sets are stacked in the y or x direction. Any ideas how I can achieve this? Thanks.

Try this out! It grabs the color data from a sideways plot and applies it to a right-way up plot.

h = waterfall(Z, X, Y);
colors = get(h, 'CData');
h2 = waterfall(X, Y, Z);
set(h2, 'CData', colors);
