How to set different colors Layers for two Standard in idw Standard Editor

I want to print everything in black except for the two position types that have colored text. I wanted to set up two Standards in the Standard Editor.
Standard Name
1. Btk = Layers = AM_0 = color = White
2. Btk_Print_Black = Layers = AM_0 = color = Black
How to set different colors Layers for two Standard in idw Standard Editor?
When I change the color of the layer it changes for both Standards and I don't want that. I want a different layer color for each standard. In Inventor, I miss the rendering style of the .ctb file like autocad has.
I have to send the file to the customer in pdf and there they will see the color highlighting of the two types of Baloon, which have their own characteristics.

To be precise, I need to change all layers to black color and all texts to black color. Only 2 texts will remain with blue and red color for two types of Baloon.

Hi! No, there is no such workflow. It works quite similar to AutoCAD. Each layer has a unique color and linetype. It is not by standard. A standard is more like a group aggregating the related styles.

Many thanks!

Yes you're right. I know it's not the right workflow (process), I just thought someone would have an idea how to automate it better. There are few users who understand this. Workflow works as follows see link. There is a limitation. Variants would be better. Then the ctb styles or at least the option to change colors when printing - it is necessary to take into account that the text has a color but no layer, so assign to each object and text how it should be printed (black/color). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcqY3EfjTvk
