it seems like in the past whenever i made either artistic text or paragraph text color default, that was reflected in the control Text using the Dimension tool.
but no matter what changes i make in X6, it remains a chalky blue.
any idears? F8 time?

Hi,
You can change default color for dimension text from Object Styles docker. Go to Tools - Object Styles (Ctrl+F5). Under Default Object Properties, select Dimension. Change the properties as required to what you want to setup as defaults. See red highlights in attached.
yay! this method worked!
i was doing it by having nothing selected, clicking on a pallette color, and prompting that to be the default color for Dimension in the Change Document Defaults window that pops up. (then i would save those settings as default from Tools)
my methos should have worked-- perhaps a bug?
thank you for your help!

Not really a bug, the problem is that the dimension has 4 colors:
The palette affects the fill and outline of the dimension, not the text of the dimension.
