How to change the cabinet doors on a refridgerator

When I placed the fridge with the matching cabinet doors it ignored my setting for the rest of the cabinets and put the standard wood look in instead. I couldn't find anywhere to edit the fridge color so I started changing each component of the fridge which took forever. I also lost the chrome handles on the fridge doors. Is there not a place in the library that has available appliance colors?

Appreciate any help.

You didn't acknowledge / answered the previous posts. Are the issues solved?

Apply colors / textures => User Guide => "Applying Paint and Color" (page 89)

Thanks, Patricia. Sorry, I am getting so frustrated I must have posted this twice. My apologies. I have no problem with the paint colors. What I am referring to here is the cabinet doors that are automatically on the fridge, but in a wood look. Changing them to match the cupboards was a nightmare. Took forever.

I will be glad to help, but I don't understand the issue.
Can you post an image showing the issue?

As you can see in the image attached the textures of the 2 fridges is metallic, not wood.

Thanks, Patricia. Yes, although I am no fan of stainless steel, I liked the idea of it having the cabinet doors but the choices to change the finish meant at least about fifty changes.

Not really. Is your Smart Wand activated?

When the Smart Wand is activated and you apply a texture or color, a menu opens offering different options, including all cabinet doors in that specific cabinet or all the cabinets in the structure.
See attached.

Yes, but was difficult to chose. I was trying to retain the door handle but most of the selections, except component, changed it. After I had finished making all the component changes the handle got changed anyway. lol

Are you talking about the refrigerator door handle or the cabinet door handle?

Anyway, the best way to apply a color or texture is getting close to the object.
