How to change a CV curve Color

[vietkid106ji]

Does anybody know how to change Cv curves Color? I tried to change it in Drawing Overrides options but it does not work. I can change an EP curve color but can not figure it out with a CV curve, it's hard to see a CV curve in the scene with a dark brown color.( The straight line in my picture). I did not put it on any layer.

That looks like an un-finished curve..  

When you draw a CV curve you need at least 4 points to get the curve to build.  ( depending on your curve degree settings) 

With the default EP curve creation tool, you only need to set 2 points. 

the end result of either EP or CV curve creation tool. is a nurbs Curve.  They are not different types of curves. just different ways to create them. 

You can manipulate any nurbsCurve's EPs or CVs once created.

Greate answer. I tried drawing again a curve with both CV and EP tool with the Curve Degree set to 1 linear and then Maya allowed me to set the color. The problem was I just need a curve with 2 points, but I drew it with the 3 Cubic settings. Thanks a lot
