walls black in layout

Good Morning All.  I have set something wrong on the layout sheet or plans such that when I send a plan to the layout, it is showing the walls with black filler.  I was able to send other plans to layout pages and while the plan  would show all  the wall layers I had  on,  the layout page would only show the outlines of the main layers.  Can anyone remind me what the fix is for this?  The first set of pictures shows it working right with pictures of the layout view and the plan view.  The 2nd set of pictures has the layout view with black walls. I had the grid lines off when I took the plan view snippet.

I know the solution to this is going to be embarrassingly simple.  TIA

 

***UPDATE WITH MORE INFO***

Actually the print out has it correct for the upstairs layout view, but the downstairs prints the walls in black.

2 possibilities come to mind right away:

Saved Plan View Settings: Open the saved plan view and go to Tools > Active View > Edit Active View. Under Layer Set, make sure you're using a set that has color enabled for the layers you want. Also check Color Options—you can choose between "Color", "Black and White", or "Use Layer Color".

Print Settings: When printing, go to File > Print > Drawing Sheet Setup and Print Preview. Make sure "Print in Color" is checked. If it's grayed out, it may be due to your printer driver or the plan view itself being set to black and white.
