Dimension color settings help

Just a weird quick thing I can't figure out this afternoon: I want all the dimensions in my drawing to be red, so I set that in the drawing properties and everything is red except my chamfer dimensions, which are black. I do have my chamfer style set as "Note" in the "Dimensions" tab, but my notes are set to be blue and all my other notes are successfully blue. Surely I'm missing something. What setting controls the color of chamfer dimensions?

    @Eleanor_Coffin I filed a ticket on this.  Chamfer dimensions/notes should be receiving the dimension color setting in the properties panel.  We can troubleshoot in the ticket.

    @Eleanor_Coffin, not sure if this is the answer you are looking for, but for coloring, you can go to the Appearance Panel on the far right of your screen. Then, select all the surfaces you would like to color, and choose the color.

    Thanks for your answer, @jackson_holm, but my issue was specifically about the color of dimensions in drawings. Image attached to illustrate:

    My dimension color is set to red. My notes are set to be blue. But no matter what I do, my chamfer callout is black, regardless of whether I set my "45 degree style" to be "Note" or "Dimension" on the "Dimensions" tab of the righthand panel. For whatever reason, it doesn't appear that you can edit the color of chamfer callouts.
