White is not white

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 22:39:37 GMT

I'm modelling a building with two shades of plaster finish (as seen below). The one on the left is meant to be bright white and the one on the right, a concrete grey. My problem is that even though I have all the settings of the white plaster material 'as white as they can go' the wall still shows a slight shade of grey. I want it to be white like the paper space above where it says "PU2/3".

Is there something stopping it from being pure white or is this as white as it can be?

Look at your ELEVATION SETING or SECTION SETTING (right mouse klick in ground view at sectio line)
UNCUTED SURFACES
ONE PEN for all surfaces.
I've got a german version, so I don't know the english keywords.

Mario was on the right track if you want to set one pen colour for all surfaces.
But if you want the actual surface colour try "Own Surface Colours (Non-Shaded)".

"Own Surface Colours (Shaded)" will take on the settings in the "More Sun" options for your 3D Projection Settings - I think.

Or you can still use the 'shaded' option but set your sun to 'Custom' and altitude and azimuth to '0' (zero).
