Navigate to your Templates folder (often
%appdata%\Microsoft\Templates), and locate the
Normal.dotm template, then r/click and open as a document.
Insert a line shape and change its colour to a colour of your choice. You can also set the line weight if you wish.
Right-click the line and click
Set as Default Line.
Now
Delete the line.
Repeat for a shape (e.g., rectangle) if you want to change the default for shapes.
Save and close Normal.dotm.
Opening a new document and inserting a line/shape in the future now should give you your chosen colour(s).
