To Assign a Plot Style Color

The default setting for plot style color is Use Object Color. With this setting, the object retains its layer or individually set color. If you assign a plot style color, the color overrides the object's color at plot time. You can specify one of 255 ACI colors, a true color, or a color book color. The plotter must be configured for True Color if you want to plot True Color plot styles.

Note: If you use a plot style table saved in AutoCAD 2000 or later, the True Color values change to the nearest match in the current version's palette.
