Nicole_A Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi there, I'm trying to paint walls white, and selected white colour from the materials menu, but the walls are showing a light grey colour. In one instance, one wall appears white but I can't get the other walls to appear white (see screenshot). Additionally, I'm having the same issue when trying to make cabinets (surface, doors, drawers) white as well. Also, some walls used to make closets will show white on the insides but not the outside. Any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 These Help articles may be of help at the Home Designer website: https://www.homedesignersoftware.com/search/?default_tab=all&q=color+shading+in+camera+views Generally speaking, the aparent color difference in shading is caused by the programming of the render cameras where white often on other surfaces in the same room looks darker than other walls, this is a common lighting effect even in the real world when you really carefully confront a room with your own eyes. This was an attempt by its makers to emulate the natural shading effect by Nature. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole_A Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Hi Eric, Thanks for your response. I changed my signature to include the version. I'm using Home Designer Suite 2020. I don't think it's the lighting because I was able to change the colour of one wall to white and in the same room the other walls still look grey. Although, I'm very new to this software and likely don't know what I'm doing yet. Edited September 13, 2019 by Nicole_A adding info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidJPotter Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The best way to be sure of a "global" change is to open "Edit - Default Settings - Materials - Interior walls" and select the intended surface material or color. Then open "Edit - Default Settings - Walls" and then alter the existing interior wall finishes for "Walls Exterior and Walls Interior" to match and agree. Changing wall surface materials and colors using only the Material Sprayer or Material Eyedropper, unless you thoroughly understand those tools "Mode Settings" can, if used without study and practice will produce unwanted or spotty results. Knowing your tools and settings is vitally essential to competent use of the software. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colourdrive Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Painting the interior of your home can be an overwhelming experience. On the off chance that you are an amateur and willing to adapt, at that point ColourDrive it is fitting to go through two tips on choosing the shading conceals, violation of board painting strategies, and decorative art.
