Unable to change color of strokes in Illustrator

I'm mystified – I have a very simple drawing, first delivered with the stroke colour set to black. Now I want to set the stroke colour to red, and I just can't manage to do it! the two short bars at the right show up as red in the Layers pallette and in the colour picker, but they're black in the drawing and black when I export. Any idea what's going on?

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I agree with the suggestions shared above. Please check the Appearance panel for multiple strokes on top of each other. If that doesn't help, will it be possible for you to share the file with us? If yes, please upload it to the Creative Cloud and share the download link with us. 

 

Regards,

Srishti

Like Doug remarked, look in the Appearance panel.

Probably multiple strokes on top of each other with the lower one selected.

What are they made up of in the Appearance panel?
