I'm only assuming at this point because I don't know what you have setup for your drawing standards but by default hole and chamfer notes reside on a different layer than your dimensions do (as defined under the active obj def..

So if you only applied the color to one of those layers than that's the reason why.

Go to Manage > Styles Editor

Select Object Default

Check if your Dimension Object are on the same layer.

If the layers are different than change to color(s) of the layer(s).

The best location to do this is of course in your template.

Simply by changing the color of the layer that it belongs to or gets assigned to. Look at the obj defaults in your drawing styles and see which layer those notes are assigned to. Then go to the layer settings in your drawing styles and change the color of them.

What are you not understanding in the information that is provided? You keep asking the same question over and over.

I have pointed to you in how you change that. The color is based on the layer that hole and chamfer notes are assigned to. I'm not sure what other way I can explain it to you if you don't understand the information and images that have been provided. In my last example, my drawing style indicates hole notes are assigned to the Symbol (Ansi) layer. So I would click on the color swatch for that layer and change its color as needed.
