Layer colors - set default
I dont understand how the layer colors are set. Often I was prefer black and to sometimes change to another colors.
Could you set so every new layer has black as default?

Alecia Beth Moore told me that it can be automated partially. She prepared this Action Set file:
new_layer_specific_colour.aia.zip - Google Drive
How to use:
- Open a new document.
- In the Actions palette, import the decompressed Action Set.
- In the Layers palette, double click on Layer 1 and set the Layer colour to Black.
- Play the action new_layer_specific_colour to add a new black main layer above Layer 1.
- Repeat that as often as required (you can also hit the F5 key, the shortcut assigned to the action).
If you want to change the default Layer colour to something different, double click any main layer, change its colour (pink is pretty popular this month), then play the action to create new pink layers.
The Action Set also includes an action to add sublayers with specific colours. Same principle.
