Maybe they're just overprinted?

There's nothing on a group or layer, but you can click open the "Fill" in the Appearance panel. Inside there is an opacity slider as well.

Hi @chrism9002341,

That sounds frustrating! It seems like your shapes are visually behaving as if they're in a blend mode like "Multiply," even though everything is set to "Normal" with no effects and full opacity.

This could be due to a different issue, such as a layer or group having a blending mode applied. Could you try selecting the shape and checking the blending mode and opacity at both the object, layer & group levels? If that doesn't resolve it, you might also want to double-check your Appearance panel to see if any unexpected effects are applied.

Also, is this happening in a particular file or all files? Please confirm which version of Illustrator you are currently using.

Let me know if that helps or if you're still facing issues!

Best,

Anshul Saini
