@Danyell, please, then look for yourself by the search tool of this forum. There are answers for editing shapes of walls, inserting objects like items as walls. Or you can attach an example of what your building looks like now and a picture what you want. Thank you for your next update.

As discussed in the post Jörg linked, this is due to the directional default lighting in FlexSim. The wall isn't hit by that much direct light and thus appears more muted than its assigned color.

You can use a plane object as a wall and set it to be "luminous", so you get the full white coloring.
