The colors of plot are different

[fatemeh_javanmardi]

Hi there, 

I would like to plot this profile with its color as it is displayed. However, when plotting DWG to PDF the brown color changes to a much brighter color and the background of the hatches change from white to Black. I have unticked print with plot styles and print transparency. Could you please help me? 

Many thanks, 

Tannaz

Hi @fatemeh_javanmardi ,

>>>>>the brown color changes to a much brighter color

Try to use  True color instead of  41 Index color for brown:

 You can fine-tune it if something is wrong.

>>>>>>he background of the hatches change from white to Black.

Use 255,255,255 True color instead of "White" Index color:

Dear Maxim, 

I am grateful for your super quick and efficient solution. It worked pretty well.

Hi Fatemeh,

I'm glad I was able to help you.

Is your autocad background BLACK (or dark or gray?) by chance? Your PDF is a white background, so, your colors are going to change between those backgrounds 100% of the time.

Your hatch white background is color 250, a dark-gray on white paper (it only looks white on any colored background): if you want "white" you need to set that to RGB color 255,255,255 (never just ACI color 250 in AutoCAD).

Do yourself a huge favor, change your AutoCAD background to WHITE so it matches your PDF white background, you'll see everything in a new and better light.
