It seems your textures are missing? Do they show when you open the material in the material library?

Yes textures are shown in the library

The texture images (jpg or png or tiff image files) are not in a loaded library.
Look at the Library Loading Manager and you will see what is missing.

Or, select the Wall showing the purple-black pattern.
Go to the Wall Settings Dialog. The Surface either comes from the Building Material, or there is a Surface Override applied to Wall sides.
So find what Surface is applied and then in the Surfaces Dialog check the Texture assigned to the Surface. It will be missing. So you either have to make sure the Texture applied can be found in the loaded Libraries, or you have to apply another Texture that is available in the loaded libraries.

An easier method to find the Surface, in the 3D window, select the Wall(s), and open the Surface Painter palette. It will show you the Surfaces assigned to the selection (on the right hand side). Double click to open the Surface attribute settings.
Or, if you have AC23, open the Attribute Manager, click on Surface tab, and sort by Textures. Red icons will indicate those that are missing, you can remove or assign new ones from here.
Ideally it'd be better to use the Library Manager to find those missing images though - as mentioned above.
