■ Change the color assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an object's
color is set to BYLAYER, it acquires the color of its layer. When you change
the color assigned to a layer, all objects on that layer assigned the BYLAYER
color are updated automatically.
■ Specify a color for an object to override the layer's color. You can specify
the color of each object explicitly. If you want to override the
layer-determined color of an object with a different one, change an existing
object's color from BYLAYER to a specific color, such as red.
If you want to set a specific color for all subsequently created objects, change
the Color property on the Properties palette when no objects are selected from
BYLAYER to a specific color.
