Textured Image Brush Maintain Color (Designer)

[Redcap]

In Designer, I made a textured image brush that has multiple colors in the original image. Instead of using those colors, Designer converts in to grey scale and tints my image. Is there a way to preserve the original image's color in the brush?

Create a Textured Image Brush should keep colours. Are you sure you didn't create a Textured Intensity Brush by mistake?

From the help…

• New Textured Intensity Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the opacity values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.
• New Textured Image Brush—creates a brush stroke based on the colour values of a raster image. In the pop-up dialog, navigate to and select a file, and click Open.

Thank you for your response. 

I was using a textured image brush but my color was set to white. The brush stroke color needs to be set to nothing (not alpha = 0, rather no color) in order to get the original color. Who would have though?

Thank you!!! I was trying to figure this out for a long time and gave up until I saw your answer today. So simple and I would never have thought to do that.
