colors

[CDH]

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem or has ever noticed. We use basically all the colrs available for different things. When you look at the color selection, you can clearly see each color is different and you can tell them apart, but, when I use the colors in my drawing, a lot of them appear on screen a the same color. For example colors 107 and 167 are very different. 107 is a greenish color and 167 is bluish. When I put these colors next to each other on the drawing, they are exactly the same color, kind of green-blue color. In fact, 107 thru 167 all appear the same, even though I know they are different.
Does anyone know why this would be and if there is a way to correct it?

I always assumed this was because in the layers dialog box you can see the colours as a box, a bigger area of colour, and so the you can pick out the differences in hue more clearly than you can with a skinny little vector line. Draw a couple of rectangles and fill them with a solid hatch, one of each colour and see if they really are the same, I'd be curious to know too..

Yeah, I kinda thought that too, but I was noticing it on my plan work when I knew that these two colors were different, but they are looking the same. So I did just what you suggested, and sure enough, they appear to be the same color. If you do a shade command, then they change and appear correct. I even opened up the colorwheel drawing, and it looked really weird until I ran shade and it appeared correct.
