Plumbing Fixture To Not Inherit System Color

Does anybody know how to change or prevent a plumbing fixture from inheriting a system color? For example, I connected my cold water supply to the WC which then changed the WC to the cold water system color, I do not want the plumbing fixture to change color, I've read many comments in forums but nothing seems to remove the inherited color.

Yes, don't use system graphic override. It doesn't have any options. It's all or none. Use filters instead.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Ife you use system types only for nameing and graphic purpose than you can always add another "fake system" to that plumbing fixtures. Two or more systems always bring back default colors to your family.

You can use system colors for everything else in the system but put a Filter on plumbing fixtures in the View. View Filters are prioritized over system colors. The general line of thought here is: the more specific a graphics display rule is, the more priority it has. Here's a table from Autodesk (click for the full article):

I thought it was the other way around. Wonder where I got that from.

On a re-read just now, I realized you were talking about a WC plumbing fixture - in which case you're almost certainly gonna connect it to a DWV / Sanitary system type before you're done modeling. Once you connect another different type of system, as @AutoCAT95 stated, the fixture will default to its original color.
