I am having an issue with Illustrator showing white as black for the color fills in my artwork. It keeps happening randomly and stopping after a while. This stopped when I changed tools.. You can see in the photo that the items are selected and in the top left corner the fill indicated as white but appearing as black.

Phil, Andy, Taylor,

 

Mayby far too far out, but what happens if you Ctrl/Cmd+E (toggles between GPU and CPU)?

I'm experiencing the same bug. Happens every once in a while. Still no idea why it does it, or how to stop it, or why it suddenly starts working properly again. Sometimes quitting an restarting helps, sometimes not.

Can you show the Appearance panel?

Maybe there are multiple fills with another one, below the visible fill selected.
