Yes, indeed. That's why I asked Marco about colored extended sections.

If you have a plan and elevation, colouring both by depth consistently
is useful to provide a clear visual cue as to which parts correspond.

Surely the reason is you don't need it. The passage at top of the page is high 
and the passage at the bottom is low.
If the colours were used on a section it would be reasonable to assume that the 
colours would indicate which passages lay behind other passages but this 
couldn't apply to an extended section as passages are stretched out along the 
line of the projection.
