How to change a model line color, not its representation in a specific view?

[stefanome]

I have a function that creates groups with model lines and uses OverrideGraphicSettings to set their color, just like CmdChangeElementColor does.

If I run the function on a 3D view, then run it again on another 3D view, and I end up with 2 groups.

The first group is colored in the first view and green in the second.

The second group is green in the first view and colored in the second.

Is it possible to set the color of a model line, not of its representation in a specific view?

There are an awful lot of ways to control colour and graphic appearance in general. 

Does a model line (or any other Revit element) ever even have an intrinsic colour of its own? I would tend to doubt that.

Anyway, here is what I have collected so far about controlling element colour:

I hope this helps.
