Hi, by launching this main.m :
%To see if plotting a tick after setting camlight headlight will leads to
%its background becoming gray or not
%clear all
figure
arrow = arrow3D([0 0 0], [1 1 1], 'r', 0.8, 0.2, 1.5);
set(arrow, 'EdgeColor', 'interp', 'FaceColor', 'interp');
%camlight headlight %might be interesting to uncomment this line
pause(5)
surfaceHandle = rotateAxisTicks('lol','r',10,-0.3,0.5,0.5,1,1,1,0);
pause(5)
camlight headlight
%material(surfaceHandle,'default') %doesn't work
%surfaceHandle1.FaceLighting = 'none' %doesn't work
, which uses that function rotateAxisTicks.m
function surfaceHandle = rotateAxisTicks(str,color,fontsize,zmax,graduSpace,boxHeight,perc,labelNumber,axnumber,thetaInput)
%https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9843048/matlab-how-to-plot-a-text-in-3d
%zmax : give it a negative value to not overlap the axis
%graduSpace : space between each graduation, within the projected on [0,1] axis if axis = x||y, OR local (not yet projected on x,y) axis !!
%boxHeight : width of the boxes depend on how much the axis graduations are refined, so height shouldn't depend on graduSpace
%perc : if perc = 1 (100%), then the labels are all sticked together with no space inbetween
%labelNumber : the first tick to be displayed is actually associated to the second graduation (0 can't get several labels)
%axnumber : out of nbParams, 1 for x, 2 for y, then, from closest to x, to closest to y : 3 to nbParams.
%thetaInput : (angle around z, from x to the axis) has to be in degree

I end up getting:
while I would like to conserve both intermediate plots containing the interp arrow:
and the text on flashy white background:
So there are actually two questions:
1) Why calling my text tick disables the interp effect (varying color from blue to yellow) ?
2) How can I keep the camlight without enlightening my tick box? (i.e while keeping its background white)
Basically one should only need to look at the two first snippets, the later 2 ones are useless for my issue.

axes
As I said in comment, you have 2 graphic objects in the same axes which have to interpret their CData in a completely different manner.
The first options I looked for was to modify one of the arrow3d or rotateAxisTicks so their graphic objects would be "compatible" (in the way the color data are interpolated on an axes), but it would be quite intensive and the aspect of the 3d text would have to be constantly monitored/adjusted for any other change in the figure.
So the easiest option is a classic MATLAB hack ... place your graphic objects in different containers (different axes), then superimpose them on a figure, and match some properties (limits, view, etc ...) so they appear to be only one.
Here it goes:
%% Draw your main arrow in the main figure
mainfig = figure ;
ax1 = axes ;
arrow = arrow3D([0 0 0], [1 1 1], 'r', 0.8, 0.2, 1.5);
set(arrow, 'EdgeColor', 'interp', 'FaceColor', 'interp');
camlight headlight
%% Draw your text in a temporary figure
tempfig = figure ;
ax2 = axes ;
surfaceHandle = rotateAxisTicks('lol','r',10,-0.3,0.5,0.5,1,1,1,0);
camlight headlight
%material(surfaceHandle,'default') %doesn't work
%surfaceHandle1.FaceLighting = 'none' %doesn't work
%% Prepare and set matching limits
xl = [ax1.XLim ; ax2.XLim] ;
xl = [min(xl(:,1)) , max(xl(:,2))] ;
yl = [ax1.YLim ; ax2.YLim] ;
yl = [min(yl(:,1)) , max(yl(:,2))] ;
zl = [ax1.ZLim ; ax2.ZLim] ;
zl = [min(zl(:,1)) , max(zl(:,2))] ;
hax = [ax1;ax2] ;
set(hax,'XLim',xl,'YLim',yl,'ZLim',zl)
% Adjust the view to be sure
ax2.View = ax1.View ;
%% Remove secondary axes background, then move it to main figure
ax2.Visible = 'off' ;
ax2.Parent = mainfig ;
delete(tempfig)
%% link the view between axes
hl = linkprop( hax , 'View' ) ;
% or link even more properties at once
% hl = linkprop( hax , 'View' , 'XLim','YLim','ZLim') ;
Which gives you:
note: Your 3d arrow is also made up of 2 different graphic objects (2x surf and 2x patch). The 2 patches are not rendered when you set the interp mode. You should modify the arrow3d function to either (a) changes the patch objects to surf so everything is the same type and compatible, or (b) remove them completely from the function (if they are not rendered they are only annoying ... triggering warnings everywhere).
edit
And here is the modified code for arrow3d.m. I changed it so the output is now only one surface object, easier to assign properties and no danger of mismatch between patch and surf. I also simplified it, removed a few bits that were not necessary, and reduced the total number of points necessary for the surface.
With this you get the bottom of the stem and the under-cone:
function arrowHandle = arrow3D(pos, deltaValues, colorCode, stemRatio, cylRad )
% arrowHandle = arrow3D(pos, deltaValues, colorCode, stemRatio) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% Used to plot a single 3D arrow with a cylindrical stem and cone arrowhead
% pos = [X,Y,Z] - spatial location of the starting point of the arrow (end of stem)
% deltaValues = [QX,QY,QZ] - delta parameters denoting the magnitude of the arrow along the x,y,z-axes (relative to 'pos')
% colorCode - Color parameters as per the 'surf' command. For example, 'r', 'red', [1 0 0] are all examples of a red-colored arrow
% stemRatio - The ratio of the length of the stem in proportion to the arrowhead. For example, a call of:
% arrow3D([0,0,0], [100,0,0] , 'r', 0.82) will produce a red arrow of magnitude 100, with the arrowstem spanning a distance
% of 82 (note 0.82 ratio of length 100) while the arrowhead (cone) spans 18.

% arrow3D([0,0,0], [4,3,7]); %---- arrow with default parameters
