The fence color
Did you know that a fence uses two colours in MicroStation V8 2004 Edition? 1) When you place the fence, or do something to the the fence, the colour used to display the dynamics is the same color as the AccuDraw hilite color. To set this, go to Settings > AccuDraw > Display > Hilite and select a colour of your choice. This is shown in the clip below. 2) Once the fence is placed, it will be the same colour as your Settings > Design File > Colour > Element Highlight Colour With thanks to Brien Bastings for sharing this up on v8.general.

MicroStation/J

For MicroStation/J, the color is changed through the Design File Settings dialog. To retain changes made to this dialog, do a File > Save Settings.  Since this setting is stored with the design file, you would have to set it in every file that you want to change the fence color.
