Light colored AR materials turn dark

I have placed serveral Ar matrials in my model. When I save and close, then open later, the light-colored Ar materials have turned dark gray. This includes white plastics, light maple, white marble, polished chrome, and other materials. How can this be prevented?

Thanks.

I saw this problem a couple of weeks ago, but was unable to duplicate it.

Can you send me a model to test (hopefully a single face with a single material which has turned dark)

Thanks,

I think I found a fix. we will try to make a new version next week.

In the meantime, you can "fix" the material by loading it in the SketchUp material editor and clicking "Reset".
