Fix layer color

Question

Is there any way to fix the layer color, for example every time I create a new one it will always be the same color, I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and having to change the color to default is a pain.

Usually the illustrator when creating a new layer it will generate a different color for each color, see the print below

And what I want is that every time I create a new layer it always generates the same color, without having to duplicate the layer or create a model, if I had an option to always keep the same color it would be successful.

And as I said I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and having to change it every time I create a new layer is a pain.

There is no way to do this within the UI or preferences files that I've ever come across.

You could try the script detailed here to effect a change more quickly:

It's a pity that you cannot or don't want to use workarounds. Sometimes, however, there is no other way to get what you want.

You may post a feature request at the Uservoice section of this forum. There are the application developers who may read and understand your request. And even more important: They may implement it one day.
