some textures changing colour when i add a darker version of same texture

Hallo

Im making a house. I add a light wooden texture to three sides and to the 3 sides of the shed. I got that working ok. Then i wanted to add a darker version of the same texture to only the front of the house and shed. But that made the texture on the right and left side of the house darker as well.

For the front of the house i created a new material and added the texture to that. Surely it shouldnt change the textures on the side of the house that were done with a diffrent material slot?

Heres the blend file. If u look at back it is a light wooden texture. But the left and right side has got as dark as the front.

house and shed texture front of house problem when i add textures.blend (829 KB)

Here are the two versions of texture with a slight diffrence.

Did you also set the house polygons to use one or another material? Using the Assign button while in edit mode?

You already have two material slots in you house, and the faces correctly assigned. The only problem is that you have the same material assigned to both slots.

you need to have different materials in each slot, one for the light wood and the other for the dark wood
