Hello
I've had a problem that has been going on for a long time: in a complex part (in welded structure mode or not, mixing sheet metal/extrusion simple or not), I apply a color on the part (in general, at the very top of the shaft): for example, a RAL1006 (yellow):
So my room is yellow, but when I refresh, a random flow (and I weigh my words) changes color. On my current part, a spar turns gray similar to the base color with no appearance, while the rest doesn't move.
Going into the colors and appearances settings, I realize that the body of this part has changed to gray, taking priority over the yellow of the general part:
If I remove this color, or change it to RAL 1006 identical to the rest of the room, refresh... BAAAAM (noise similar to that of my head going through one of my two screens):
My flow is very yellow, that's nice. But the rest turned yellow radioactive piss.
After checking, however, the color property values do not change...
I dry, no matter how much I go around, I stall completely. I checked the properties of each function, each body, each face... Sheet metal, not sheet metal, changing materials, putting everything identical, everything different, but it doesn't change anything.
I hope someone will be able to guide me before I go into depression...
Thank you in advance.

Hello
Interesting question because we often have this problem too, and without a solution! since I use Solidworks the color management has always been "weird"
I'm looking forward to answers...

Fifounet44, maybe an additional element:
This piece is that of a colleague in the office. I often track this kind of prblm to try to solve them on my side on my job.
I have the impression that this phenomenon is only present when the part is used (or modified) by several different users (and therefore maybe several different SW settings).
By remaking the piece myself, same shape, same materials, ... etc, I don't have a problem. On complex elements, sheet metal, bosses, surfaces, I don't have a problem either. On the other hand, another colleague has the same problem with a tubular chassis, on which several designers have worked...
I seriously ask myself the question.
Last thing:
I also wondered (in the case of yellow 1006 which turns to piss yellow) if the difference in refreshment was not just due to the colors that adapt to the scene. Does putting the appearance on it appear (visually) as originally created, and when you refresh it adapts to the scene?
Yes, the color adapts to the scene, and for the color change I noticed that in an assembly it often happens after putting a part or assembly in transparency and then after removing this transparency that a color is applied to this part or assembly in the assembly or transparency has been applied. (Bug Sw2016? and maybe next?)
