Mnemonic: Current Entity Color
Determines the current color for entities to be drawn if their color is specified by number. The default color number is 256 (BYLAYER), which adopts the color of the current layer. Setting a number between 1 and 255 or specifying a true color overrides the layer's color for new drawing entities.
To set true colors, specify a string of 3 integers from 1 to 255 separated by commas and preceded by RGB, for example, "RGB:000,000,000".
