The default line color in Visio is blue. How can I change that default?

We have found that you can change each line as you draw but that is a hassle.

I have tried changing the color in the styles menu but it will only hold for one line then flips back to the default.

  • Not really a duplicate since the previous answer talks about changing the master. While this does do the job, there is no longer a need to do this with 2010+ – Julian Knight May 21 '15 at 19:46

You apply default colours through Themes. You can create a new blank drawing, customise one of the existing themes then save the drawing as a template so that you get access to the customised theme.

  1. When you change master-shapes, you have limit: it works only with shapes based on these masters ! not for all shapes in this document.
  2. When you change Style, you have limit: it works only with shapes based on style named NoStyle ! For all shapes in this document, but for other documents you need again change style there.
  3. When you change Themes, i think you get limits like as for Styles.
