@colin I try to paint inside of a group and try painting black. . .it shows up gray, not black. when I draw a box or circle the inside doesn’t change color to tell me it is completely closed.
Can you answer with a sample file? Click the up arrow box icon, the eighth icon, to add your file.
Regarding the black looking gray, it’s because you have X-ray enabled for the style so the background color is showing through.
Turning off X-ray makes black look black.
Also explained by your choice of having X-ray enabled.
I note you have almost the same color for both front and back faces. That’s not really a good practice.
And it appears that you are using Tags/Layers incorrectly. I rest all the edges and faces back to the default.
Thanks Dave. I had not noticed the Xray setting.
Thanks Dave for your help. . .it’s all new to me. I hadn’t any idea about when/why I changed to x-ray. Thanks too to you Colin!
Well, it comes with time. I expect you changed it to X-ray when you were making changes to the style.
I also did a little further cleanup of your model and reduced the file size by nearly 80%.

Is this for your back yard?
I’ve recently retired as Maintenance Supv. for our city’s parks and recreation dept. One of the projects still in progress is a disc golf course. I’m trying to help with the signs for each of the holes to help finish the project. thanks again.
I have a rectangle divided into 12 equal size segments…how do I lighten or darken each segment? One darker or lighter than the one before?
is there a way to make each a know percentage (say 10%) darker or lighter than then next… reminder, I have not much practice/knowledge… thanks for you help. . .
You can edit the colors in the Materials Edit panel.
