After Effects 2026 — How can I make the Camera Focus Distance indicator appear WHITE?

In an After Effects 2025 tutorial, the Camera Frustum/Wireframe is magenta, but the Focus Distance indicator line is clearly WHITE.

In my After Effects 2026 installation, both the camera frustum and the Focus Distance indicator appear magenta.

I am using Classic 3D and Depth of Field is enabled.

Is there a preference, View Option, Layer Control setting, or any other setting that controls the Focus Distance indicator color?

I don't want to change the Camera's Label Color because that changes the entire camera wireframe/control color.

I specifically want to distinguish the Focus Distance indicator from the camera frustum.

Screenshots attached:

  1. After Effects 2025 tutorial — white Focus Distance line + magenta camera frustum.
  2. My After Effects 2026 — both appear magenta.

Was this behavior changed in After Effects 2026, or is there a hidden setting/preferences option?
