I can get the default colors for one figure (Cuboid), and then color another figure (Sphere), as here:
Graphics3D[
Cuboid[],
Red, Sphere[]
]
However, if I create the figures in the reverse order (Cuboid first, Sphere second), I need to "cancel" the color specification (from the sphere) so that the Cuboid is in its default colors. I've tried FaceForm[Automatic] and variations, but these do not work.
Of course I could always specify the order of rendering to place the colors last, or explicitly place colored objects in Lists, but that is a bit tedious for many of my figures.

Graphics directives only persist inside the List that they are defined in`. So, use extra lists to control where the directives are active:
Graphics3D[Red, Sphere[], Cuboid[]]
Another possibility is to use Style wrappers:
Graphics3D[Style[Sphere[], Red], Cuboid[]]
same picture
Another possibility that is similar to your Dashing example is to use a rule :
Graphics3D[Red, Sphere[], FrontFaceColor->White, Cuboid[]]
same picture
In this case you can also just change the color back to white without a rule, e.g., Graphics3D[Red, Sphere[], White, Cuboid[]], but knowing about the rule possibility is useful.
You can examine what other rule possibilities there are by evaluating:
CurrentValue[StyleDefinitions, "Graphics3D"]

@CarlWolf: Yes, I can do that (+1), but I generate some figures algorithmically, and it gets a bit complicated to do this (though not impossible). Is there really no way to "cancel" a previous color specification? By analogy, one can "cancel" aDashingspecification withDashing[None]. I believe one can "cancel" a previousEdgeFormwithEdgeForm[Automatic].

Why don't you group the colour with the object?
Cuboid[], Red, Sphere[].$endgroup$

@Szabolcs: Ah yes... helpful. I didn't think the default was
Whitegiven the rendered colors. But this appears to work. (You can post this as a quick solution and I'll accept it.)$endgroup$
