I have an assembly including parts with different colors and the appearance of the assembly shows exactly the color of each part
Once a while, I open the assembly and it appears as one default color
I need to shutdown SW and reopen again to get the parts colors back
Has anyone here seen this behavior? Is there something to do with video card or it's a bug in SW2016 (sp4 EV)
I open a sub-assembly from a main assembly and all parts in the sub-assembly appears in one color, I switch back to the main assembly, and all parts in that sub-assembly appears in diff. colors
Not sure on this but if you open an older file, that has the colors one way and then you open another file that the template is the other way, don't the tools/options collide, where the color follows the first opened file...
Color is still a tricky issue for me as I don't fully understand it
Part's color in SW part and assembly envir. sometimes drives me nut
Go to this page and download the presentation. This was for a PV360 presentation but the first part talks about appearances/colors, how to apply them and the hierarchy in SolidWorks. You might find it helpful?

I was in Orlando for SWW2013 but missed your presentation !
I have not seen this as a bug. The only time I have seen it is when another user changes the colors.
If you are the only user, it could be either VC or something else corrupt. Try running Rx on SW.
