CineRender draws the wrong color

Does CineRender somehow go into the Graphisoft factory setting to get color info? I did a new/reset. Made an object with the surface "finish 1" (a bright turquoise), then changes Finish 1 to a dark gray. In the 3D window the object is dark gray. CineRender will only render it as Turquoise! What's going on?

Have you updated the CineRender settings?

It is not in CineRender it is in the Surface settings.

Just to be clear that it did not work:
• You had a turquoise material that showed correctly using the Internal Engine and in CR
• Then you edited the turquoise to grey and since it shows correctly in the 3D Window I presume you edited the Surface Color in Internal Render.
• If this is the case then IR will be gray but CR will still be turquoise since CR does not update automatically unless you use the Match Settings option.
-----
• That being said if CR remains turquoise even after using Match Settings then it might be that the material has a Texture with that color so changing the Surface Color will not change it until you edit the Texture or remove it.
----
• Also it might be possible that you need to move the camera a little bit to force a refresh.
