It's probably less about the eggplant taking on the color of it's sauce or cooking liquid (although it can, to a degree) and more an issue of oxidation. Eggplant, much like apples and potatoes will start to turn a brownish, rusty color when exposed to oxygen in the air. The way that I combat this in my kitchen is to rinse the eggplant with water and a little bit of lemon juice (vinegar and other acids work as well), I stress "little bit" because eggplant is very good at absorbing the flavors of other things. This trick also works on apples and potatoes.

How long after you cut an eggplant do you have to cook it?

Eggplant begins to oxidize just like peeled apple will. You can cut it and store it in ice water with lemon juice till ready to use. If making an eggplant parmigiana and your dredge & fry the EP's then they are okay to rest covered and or chilled for a day or two before you layer with sauce & cheese. Or you can layer it with sauce & cheese & freeze prior to cooking.
