Colors not reading correctly from revit to enscape

I’ve got an issue regarding colors in my enscape rendering. For some reason when I render my Revit model all colors are adjusted, and everything has a darker tint of brown. Things that are a flat black color in my Revit model now come out brown, my siding is a much darker brown color, and the color “iron ore” (RGB 70, 70, 69) also now reads as brown. I’ve tried adjusting these things in both enscape and Revit material editor, but nothing seems to work. I tried changing the color of the “iron ore” to black and it just stays brown. In short colors of materials are not behaving as they should in enscape. Really don’t know what else to try and hoping you may have an answer.

Screenshots attached of views in revit and enscape and settings of materials in revit and enscape

main issues:

  • ‘Iron ore’ rgb changes to 19, 19, 19 and enscape rending has trouble creating gray colors (they turn brown)

  • Black color does not show up black (see window mullions, in revit black and in enscape they show up brown-ish, this is the same for any beam work colored black)

  • siding is visibly a different color

Any help would be appreciated.

Note: this is a build on to existing revit model from revit 2019 upgraded to revit 2021 could this cause the issue?




The materials are in a shadow, which is going to be affected by how much light they reflect. Also, don’t use solid black for black. Absorbs all the light and it doesn’t look natural. Give it a slight increase in lightness, so that instead of black being 000 maybe use 555.

The materials are the same on both the building on the right and building on the left. That said the building on the left isn’t in a shadow, so the shadow isn’t the issue here. I also tried updating the black to 555 and that did not help or change anything. Seems to me that its having issues reading grey and black colors in the renders.

Perhaps coplanar geometry is obscuring the materials.
