Default Drywall Color

[Thad58]

I want to change my default color to a Benjamin Moore color 2111-70. I down loaded it to my library but can not change the default color to it.

Change it in the wall layer definitions

[Thad58]

It will not let you open the library

I opened my interior wall. Selected the interior wall layer. Clicked on material. Opened the library.

[Thad58]

I did that but it changes the material name to the color not the pattern. Or do i just rename the mater Drywall and the color number

[joey_martin]

Colors don't have patterns.

But you cant grab a library color for the drywall. OK so Chief just responded and said that was a difficult task. I will let you know. I set up a meeting

Got it. That is a lot of work of steps. Thanks I am going to change my template.

For colors Chief doesn't let you apply easily like this you can just use the BM RGB numbers ( or Hex on Mac too) from their Website

( or any manufacturer eg SW instead) and put them into the Color Box manually

 or even color pick them from a wall you already changed manually to the desired color within Chief.

Then save it to your Library for later use....

 

This is a website that has this info too .....they are selling paint but the info needed is there too....https://encycolorpedia.com/e7e5e0
