Hover over the pipe in any View, and keep cycling the Tab key until you see the dashed linework surrounding it. This is how you can select a System in the canvas, rather than go to the Project Browser > Families > Piping Systems. Click Edit Type and go into the Materials option. Create and name a material and apply any color of choice. Now change to either a Shaded or Consistent Visual Style and you're golden!! Easy as pie. Attached is a screenshot:
