if you have defined a new panel infill, and want to assign a concrete gray color
to that, you need to define a display component for the new infill, and assign

see Adding Curtain Wall Element Definitions as Display Components on page
1485. If you do not define a display component for a new element, its display

type. For example, if you have a new panel infill, but do not define a display
component for it, then its display is controlled by the default infill display
component.
