Prefab as child of empty gameobject.

I had the issue where my prefab was built with a certain rotation, but on instantiating it the rotation was lost. So I made the prefab a child of an empty gameobject. That fixed the issue, but now I have the issue that I cannot apply a color to the material dynamically since what I instantiated is an empty gameobject, which has no renderer. How do I get a handle to the prefab child of the empty gameobject?

Thanks,
Syed
