    u perform the assign color command then in the find filter u select vias.

    on the options pane, u select a color.

    then u select vias that u want to change.

    if u want to set up a funckey, the following could be used.

    funckey k "assign color form.find;FORM find all_off; FORM find vias YES"

    if u press the "k" key, it already selects only vias. 

    the funckey has to be placed on ur env file bfore opening ur design file.
