White fills show up grey

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm not sure what exactly has happened here. I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything, but I must have done something.changed some setting by mistake, because all of my white pens show up grey. I'm using Archicad 12, Student Education version on Windows XP. I've attached a screen shot. As you can see my pen set says the fill is white, but like the brick workabove, the highlighted concrete fill is showing up with a grey background. Anyone know whats happened here?

Just had the same issue occur, had me stumped.

I have a suspicion that the cause of the issue was me opening a DWG through the File > Open menu.

There was a dialogue that came up which I rushed through "OKing", perhaps there was something there that caused the Work environment to change.

No, I don't think so.

You can only change Work Environment settings by going into the WE and changing them yourself, or applying a different WE.

I think the default WEs have this option to automatically adjust pen colour set as active.
