The initial value is 7, by which users can change to a special color based on background(white or black).
The value of 0 specifies to be ByBlock; the value of 255 specifies to be ByLayer; the value of 257 specifies to be ByEntity.
Users can input a value from 1 to 255 to specify a GCI color. They can also specify a true color or an index color.
