I've done this before, but forgot how. You can change materials for everything in the door manager, except for the door. I have an older drawing that I have made the change, but can't figure out how I did it. Feeling a little stupid at the moment.

I can change it for the door, but if you are using a symbol for the 3d door, then you need to edit the symbol and change the material there.

Roger, Thanks for the reply. I finally figured out how I did it before. Go to view>rendering>edit materials>pick wood door>uncheck apply texture>change rendered color to whatever color you want. I realize that this is only fine, if you want all the doors to be the same color, but I generally do.It is also easy to change back to wood grain.

Ok, so in the Door Manager you had selected the Material "Wood Door" which sometime was defined by you. So yes, then you would need to go to the render material editor to change the definition of that "Wood Door" material.
