I am trying to add two different colors of paint to two separate walls. When i go to change the color it changes the color of the previous painted wall. Is there a way to make more than one paint color?

Every material in Revit has to be assigned its own unique name, so duplicate your paint, name it like paint-blue, assign blue paint to it and then use that material on your wall.

Duplicating the paint isn't an option for me. Is there a certain way you do it?

"Duplicating the paint isn't an option for me. Is there a certain way you do it?" Weird answer, why would this not be an option. What are you doing? You have 2 walls, you have 2 paint colors (materials) choose paint, select collor 1 and click(paint) wall 1 choose color 2 and click(paint) wall 2 they should be 2 diferent colors unless 1&2 are the same color or wall.

Thanks WWHub, that diagram helped a bunch. I was trying to duplicate through type properties and I now understand where to duplicate materials! Thanks again
