TIP:
These settings ignore the current layer settings for color.
By Layer

If you enter bylayer, new objects assume the color of the layer upon which
they are drawn.
By Block
If you enter byblock, AutoCAD draws new objects in the default color (white
or black, depending on your configuration) until they are grouped into a block.
When the block is inserted in the drawing, the objects in the block inherit the
current setting of the COLOR command.
