Xref Layer color overrides not staying when xref saved

I have an xref in my Construction Drawing and if I set layer color overrides they get reverted back to the xref colors anytime anyone opens the xref and saves it. Does not even have to be edited just saved. Once I see the Xfef needs a reload I lose my color overrides. I have the Retain overrides to layer properties set. Shouldn't this setting keep my overrides after a reload?

Check that VISRETAIN = 1.

I am not sure, but I think VISRETAIN is separate from the layer override setting.

The layer settings dialog Xref Layer Settings radio button changes the visretain variable. Selected =1 unselected =0. I must have had a bad dwg. I restarted and everything was working ok.
