A published set of sheets is half in color half in black and white?

This is my first project in ArchiCAD 28 and when I publish my set of drawings, some of them are in full color and others are in black and white. All the view settings are the same with the same pen sets, graphic overrides, etc. so I can't figure out why they aren't publishing the same. When I look at the layouts on the screen they are all in color per the pen sets I selected. But when I publish the set to pdfs, some of the sheets are in black and white - see attached screen shots. Any insights are greatly appreciated! Thank you!Screenshot 2025-07-07 at 4.26.34 PM.pngScreenshot 2025-07-07 at 4.26.41 PM.png

In your publisher set, have a look at the 'document options' to see how the PDF will save.

You might have one set to colour and another to black & white.

Thank you so much Barry! I knew it was probably something easy and I just couldn't find the setting. Much appreciated!
