Maybe your questions was a bit to vague and you took a shot in the dark 
with your primitive set attempt.
You were asking for material not for color, so I assumed something else.

I'd advice to use an additional vertex-attribute (per vertex) holding your "color-index" and evaluate it in the vertex-shader and modify this based on the intersected indices.

The minimalistic way would be to simply add uniform face colors (vertex 
color) for each face in your geometry and change the appropriate face in 
the buffer. So you have a buffer with n-entries where n is the number of 
faces your primitive set creates.
As you are using indexed vertices you simply need to find out which face 
is affected by the picked indices and modify those color entries.
I'd like to help you here with some example, but I'm chasing a project 
deadline right now. The only advice I can give is to start with a 
minimal example, modifying the colors without picking to understand what 
is going on and then to integrate picking and interaction.


Cheers
