Material On baked mesh from grasshopper

I baked this mesh from a grasshopper plug in - kangaroo- once i baked it I tried to apply rhino material to it, but it wont change from the orange bake color. I tried rendering it but it stays the baked orange. I also tried turning it into a polysurface by MESHTONURB then applying the material but it is still the baked orange from grasshopper. Any ideas on what I should do? I am uploading a screenshot of what the baked orange is next to the material I need it to be.

Verify that the surface is set to using the Layer Material by selecting it and then heading to Properties > Material. If a different material is assigned there the object will ignore the layer material and use that instead.
