ArchiCAD 16 is not retaining the exact definition of pens in terms of color. This is true whether it is set via HSV settings or RGB. For example, if a color is set to 30/25%/50% on the HSV sliders, it will become something like 30/28%/42%. There seems to be a general approximation occurring. This is frustrating because we are trying to set-up a presentation color palette with predictable and accurately defined colors.
By the way, this condition is also apparent in the material editor as well.
Is there a obscure setting somewhere in ArchiCAD for color accuracy? I do not believe it is a video card issue, because the colors will remain unchanged in other applications like PhotoShop.
The system parameters are:
MAC OS X, 10.8.2
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
ArchiCAD 16, build 3270
Thank you,
