Washed out interior colours with v18 render

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm having a problem with photo renders using the new rendering engine in v18. I am rendering an interior view but the colours being washed out - particularly on a red feature wall.

I've attached a screenshot that shows you the "basic" 3D window and general colour the wall should be, plus an inset partial render of the red wall - which in the photorender is pink!

I have also attached a screenshot of my settings for reference. AS you will see, I've used these settings before in the same project and saved them so I could replicate the render after making changes to the model...well that was my plan!

I've been using archicad for ages, but am a real amateur with the rendering side of things. Any suggestions for settings etc?

Metroworks:

The first thing you should do is go to the Surface Settings for this Surface, change the Engine Settings: to CineRender, then look at the Color setting. You could post a screen shot of that dialog box for feedback. In your attached pdf file I see only the 3D Window and the rendering. You can also try the Match Settings... CineRender to match from Internal on the CineRender settings page.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.
