Colors can mean a lot of different things. It can be vertex colors, 
material colors or textures.
So basically you need to remove/replace all of them, depending on what 
you want to achieve.

A good exampe that you shouldn't always rely on co-worker follows ;-)
Use the visitor pattern to traverse the scenegraph. There you can 
override the various apply virtual funtions to change the nodes you want 
to modify. If you want to remove the textures you should inspect the 
statesets of the nodes (overwriting apply of osg::Node is sufficient) 
and remove the texture based attributes. Another way is to set a uniform 
with the given color to the root of your parts that you want to be 
colored and and an shader program that simply ignores all other 
attributes but displays your choosen color instead.
The OSG has a lot of examples, so you should take a look for 
osg::NodeVisitor, osg::Material (and if you want to go with the shader, 
potentially osg::Uniform, osg::Program).
If you need in-depth support, you can also give me an example model with 
an description and I might give some in-depth advice.

Geometry is simply what it says: A bunch of vertices with potentially 
normals etc. A drawable is the base-class for the scenegraph's leafs. 
Geode is the "old" way of having a group of drawables as a leaf of the 
graph.
You should really read a book (OSG Cookbook e.g.) or take a look into 
the examples.
