    Hello, you need to find out what specific string your environment uses to reference the uncolored condition versus what string is used for other color situations, the cadence help documentation references the grey color default is "noShift" but you may be some other string like "grey".  You can probably get your via color with dbGetViaCutLayerControl() and change the color with dbSetViaCutLayerControl().  Good luck.
