Have a look at the screenshot I've uploaded . . . You'll see that the only way to change their color is by changing the color of the fully defined sketch lines. It seems to be impossible to have a fully defined sketch with dimensions being a different color than the fully defined lines. Am I the only one who finds that annoying?
No.

Probably.
You can change color for each sketch.
Have a look at this random sample plucked from the internet . . .
As you can see, I am clearly correct in my thinking.
What's the benefit, if any, of having the lines and dimensions the same color?

The sketch is to create the model. Model create drawing.
I'm old school. There is one color with pencil, black
Here is my sketch:
I don't have problem with it. I'll change the sketch color if I need to. Dimension color, never needed.
I did saw AutoCAD drawings with all 32767 color. Not my style.
In the drawing file you can have all kinds of color combinations, but not at the sketch level
You can also color your sketches differently in the feature tree...
In my 21 years of modeling with SW, there have only been a couple of times I have thought color would be nice. Models on the other hand, I like to color (in the assembly level) those to make it easier to identify in an assembly. My sketches normally are fairly simple.
Excuse me, while I give this a little bump.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but has anyone out there found a way to change just dimension colors, in a fully defined sketch while in sketch-edit mode?
