Script to change" column rule" color

Question

Please, can anyone help me with a script?
I need all the "column rules" in my document to be black. This is because I don't use "column rules", and when I go to delete unused colors and color groups from my document it doesn't let me delete the colors that are inserted in the "column rules", even though the column rules columns are not active. I already looked for the code in the API, but I couldn't find it.

The same happens with "shading", which even if not active, blocks the color.

the colors that are inserted in the "column rules", even though the column rules columns are not active. Also, textFramePreferences is a document property, so you should be able to set the active document’s default for new text frames like this:  app.activeDocument.textFramePreferences.columnRuleStrokeColor = app.activeDocument.colors.itemByName("Black");
