When I open Autocad LT 2025 and click on new drawing. I would like to change the default colors that dimensioning uses. I've use the dimstyle command but it always reverts back to black defaults for dimension color. Thanks for any help!

How are you using DIMSTYLE please? Color settings are in multiple places that you have to edit manually yourself first
OR... is AutoCAD/LT2025 just conflicting with your video card and you need to try some of these workaround fixes for now
1) Set GFXDX12 variable to 0 (that's a zero) then restart AutoCAD/LT: reverting to DirectX11 fixes similar problems for most users.
2) if still no relief then start GRAPHICSCONFIG command and change the 2D Display Settings pulldown from "advanced mode" to one of the other choices.
3) If all else fails, then turn off Hardware Acceleration as a last resort in the command noted in #2 above.
When you open another file!
Sure.
Do this. Start a new file, create your own new, sensful named dimstyle.
Run SAVEAS, in file dialog - change the file extension to .dwt
Acad jumps to another folder
(Remember this path)
Save your own template(.dwt) file.
Start Command OPTIONS
First tab, search for file for QNEW, set your .dwt file.
Close Acad, test it again.

Thanks for the help! I think I get it now. Have to make my own template and have AutoCAD look for it upon clicking the new tab!
@barryR4JV8 Do you have your dimensions automatically put on a dimensions layer? If so why not change the colour of that layer
