I have noticed, when duplicating a graphic by using Copy - Paste, that some of the colours in the graphic get changed:  not hugely, but noticeably.  E.g. I had one colour 837A81 on the original was changed to 938A91 on the copy.  Not all colours get changed, and many that do change don't exhibit that arithmetical fascination.  Even a single colour swatch will sometimes get changed (usually to a lighter shade) but more often not.  The whole thing is inconsistent, but I haven't explored a lot of variables to see if there is one thing in particular that causes it.

Re-copying a copy doesn't seem to change it again.

Duplicating a graphic using Edit/Duplicate seems to copy all colours faithfully, but of course you cannot use it to transfer a graphic between EazyDraw documents.

Is this a known fact, or am I missing something?  Is there a work-around or a method of avoiding such changes?

This is a bug, will be seen on High Sierra. It appears to be hardware dependent. we think it was Introduced late Sierra updates associated with the Touch Bar macBooks. Applied only to color changes performed by clicking a color on the system color picker color wheel.  The small color errors self corrected when the file was saved (or if a graphic was copied then pasted).  An update to EazyDraw 8.7.0 will be posted soon.
