Strange Colouring Problem
Feb 10, 2012

Hey guys!
It’s me again, just having a very weird issue with some colouring effects in my new course.
I have set some boxes to animate to set to specific colour (this animation happened twice, as we are trying to show noise levels, via a form of dB meter)
So here is what it should look like:
Now if I build or preview the course we get this:
Has anyone had problems like this before? i did wonder if the animation was to blame, but that wouldnt account for the colour change.
Thanks Guys!

HI Keith. I have not seen this issue before. Can you attach a copy of this slide so we can take a closer look?
It looks like it is a PPT slide and not an Engage, so is it possible that the colors are PowerPoint Theme colors? And if so, how did you set the colors of the boxes you created...
I have attached the rpoblem slide to this post.
Eric, i am changing the colours of the boxes via an animation, so the start white, change to their respective colours, go white again, then back to the colours, all animation controlled
Thanks for the slide. I am thinking it is the emphasis tool you are using that is causing you to see the green blocks, but as I have never used that particular effect in Articulate I cannot be certain. I am going to tinker with it after a meeting I have and see what may work. Perhaps Justin will have more info for you before that.
Hi,
Had something similar where I imported a picture and then recoloured it in PowerPoint. The original was blue, I recoloured it to green, Articulate published it as pink!
If you need to change the colours of a graphic - do it in a graphics program, not in PowerPoint.

Keith,
I don't believe the color change animation is supported in Articulate. You can find a list of supported animation effects here:

thanks for all your help guys, i will do it with graphics, when i come back in after the weekend
Keith, I did not tinkering with the slide you posted just using the fade entrance & exit animations. No color issues doing it this way. Hope this helps.
Have a great weekend!
How Strange, i ended up using graphics any how, as i need to road the course out this week.
Thanks for that Eric, i will have a look at that today!
