That Paint-01 is actually the name of a Material.
Use the Attribute Manager, where you can open the attribute set of other ArchiCAD files and import them into your current project.

And if you don't have another file that you can get materials from you can always create your own in the material settings dialogue.
You can create new from scratch or you can duplicate existing materials and just change the properties you need to (i.e. the colour).
