Are you using CorelDraw? It sounds like maybe your raster and vector items are using different color spaces (models). Like maybe the raster is using RGB and the vector is using CMYK (or vise versa). My guess is that's why you see two sets of old/new colors in the models tab.
Try selecting some text or vector art and in the properties docker I think you can change the color model with the tiny arrow/triangle in the top right of the properties.
There might be a color model setting in the program's preferencea that changed and is causing this.
This is just a guess. I'm new to CorelDraw and don't have it open at the moment to look, but it's mixing of color models is something it does that has caused me some confusion.

There are inherent differences between identical color values, in the same color modes (RGB/CMYK) between raster and vector art programs.
When it comes to ink jet dye sub, the Sawgrass Sublijet IQ PowerDriver is supposed to compensate for that variance.
I have no experience with the PowerDriver, although that feature of the program was highlighted in a product review, by Stephen Spence, a couple of years ago.

Since she was seeing both colors in the "Models" tab of her software, and it sounded like she wasn't seeing that before, I was guessing it may actually be a color model issue in the graphic software rather than the driver.
But I was just guessing. :-)
