Short description of error
Though i told blender to use a nice sun yellow as annotation default color, when i press d in the 3d view and LMB, i get the dull blue color again.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open Preferences/Editing/Annotations and change default color.
Hover over 3dview and try to annotate ( [D]+[LMB] ).
Did it take your set color?

I cannot reproduce. Maybe, you changed the color after drawing the first annotation and the layer was already created with the default color. The default color is only used the first time the layer is created.

Can you try in a new scene?

If you created an annotation, then you need change the color in the side panel.

Did you save the user preferences after changing the default annotation color? It immediately uses the new color on my system, that is if you haven't previously used the annotation tool in the scene. Otherwise it will continue with the color you've set in the annotation tools preferences as @Antonio Vazquez (antoniov) has shown in his last comment.
