linework and text turning gray

Using 2013 C3D.  My text and linework is now gray.  During opening/initializing of drawing, everything appear fine until it finishes loading, then everything is gray.  It just started yesterday when I was bringing in shp files of wetlands in various ways (dragging/dropping, fdo conect and mapimport).  Maybe the shp file had nothing to do with it, but I've never seen cad do this. 

 

When I grip the line, the color in layer comes up as correct color, but the line on screen is gray.  Also if I copy the multileader or line, the color reverts back to correct color until I save, exit and reopen.  BTW - the only thing that isn't gray is my civil 3d pipes and structures. 

 

Any ideas on why everything is turning gray??

I've typed AUDIT about 39 times.

 

I just figured it out.....If 'Default' is toggled under Map Base inside the Task Pane of Mapwspace, then features will appear gray, toggle it off and back to normal.
