Take a look at Work Environment > User Preference Schemes > Selection and Element Information > Highlight selected elements' surfaces, you can uncheck this or change the Surface color.

Upon further investigation, I found the real answer - goto 3D Cutting Planes, and check "Use Element Attributes" for the "Fill Material & Edge Pen of Cuts" Setting. Hope that helps!
