      I would love to have a script that would Clear All(or)Selected layer colours based on a dialog pop-up - similar to one for materials

      Thanks in advance

      Chris

        Unfortunately there isn't any access to layer colours via the Ruby API.

            Over three years ago I wrote a convoluted script that did change layer colors.*** ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
            It needs Pro...
            It renames the original layer.
            It makes a DXF with the relevant original-layer-name, giving it the specified color and imports the DXF file to make the new layer, with the original-name and the new color...
            Then it reassigns every entity in the model [and also inside its definitions] that used the original-layer to this new-layer [with the original-name]...
            The original-now-unused-layer-with-the-temp-name is now purged.
            Ta-da... the objects appear to be on the same layer but it has the specified new color...
            *** layer-color=.rb

            It IS unbelievably clunky.
            It does something that the API ought to do readily !
            I'd only use it if I really had to ๐Ÿ˜ฒ
