Fill Color on master not the same as shape it was created from

[Acolin]

Created some simple telephone pad shapes, that look like the letters and
numbers on a telephone. But when I drag the shape onto the drawing, the black
background color is blue. Changing the fill color works, but shouldn’t the
master shape fill color be the same color as the shape when the master is
created?

You may have a shape that has a Fill style to define the fill color. It is
possible that the Fill style in the stencil is different from the Fill style
on the drawing page. You can select your shape and go to Format > Style to
check this.

I open a new drawing, open up the my Telephone Pad # stencil, go to
Format/Style… and the Fill Style says normal. I change the fill style to a
new fill style that I created, called Black (darkest gray, designed to evoke
urban images of New York sophistication and create a new master…nope. The
latest shape image still has blue text on a square gray background. When
dragged to the page, the shapes all have light blue background with navy-blue
text….
