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.
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. The Colors window opens.
Click Fonts in the toolbar, click the Document Color button in the Fonts window (the fourth button from the left), and then select a color in the Colors window.
The Colors Window provides instructions for using the Colors window.
