Is there a way to change default part colours? (Blue, then gray, then dark blue, etc.)

Wondering if there is a way to change the default part colours that automatically form when you make a part.

    Colour cycle is hard coded.

    I also noticed they are at the top of the palette. Are they 'favourited' or something similar?

    It goes in order from left to right of the top row with every new part made. Repeats when it gets to the end.

    Right click on part in the feature tree - then select "edit appearance" then click on your choice in the palette. But I don't think there is a way to change the preset default color routine.

    Others can correct me if I'm wrong.

    So for the non techie that's a hard NO to the original question. 😃
