Applying text color

By default, text takes on the active fill color and has no stroke.

To set text color:

Choose a color from the color well pop-up menu in the Text Editor.
Select and text block and choose a color from the color well pop-up menu in the Fill panel.
Double-click either color well to use the system color picker.

You can apply color to the entire text block, or to specific characters within the text block.
