You can change text color by using the format bar, the Text inspector, and the Fonts window. Changes you make with any of these tools override color changes already made with the other tools.

First select some text or a text box that contains text you want to change the color of.

Here are ways to change text color:
  • Click the Text Color well in the format bar. In the color matrix that appears, select a color by clicking it or click Show Colors to open the Colors window for additional color options.

  • Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Text button, click Text, and then click the color well. Select a color in the Colors window.

  • Click Fonts in the toolbar, click the Text Color button in the Fonts window (the third button from the left), and then select a color in the Colors window.

Drag a color from the Colors window to the selected text to change the text color. The topic The Colors Window provides more detailed instructions for using the Colors window.
