  Hi there,

  Thanks for the questions.

  How do I change the text color on my pages

  If you would like to edit an existing page, go to (1) My Sites → (2) Pages on the left menu. Click on the (3) title of the page you’d like to edit. You can also click the Edit button, which should show up when you hover over it with the mouse. See it below.

  

  It will take you to the Block Editor.

  To color specific words or characters, please select the text first, click the downward arrow in the block toolbar and then click on the Text color option. A small window with default color options will pop up and there is also a Custom color link which will open a color picker where you can choose the exact color you want.

  

  You can also reach many editing tools in the block toolbar. If you do not see the sidebar, click the ‘cog’ icon next to the Publish button.

  As you can see, the Paragraph block offers typography, color, text settings and advanced options.

  How do I change the text color on my […], header menu and footer?

  To change the color of those elements requires to add Additional CSS included in the Premium or higher Plans. I am not a Staff so I can not see if you have a plan or not but if you would like, I can try to help with the additional CSS code as well.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi! It looks like you’ve got it, since I can see you’re not using the default colors anymore.

  Also, while you are welcome to ask questions here in our forums, I want to point out that your plan includes live chat support here:

  Ah, @csabarakasz and I posted at the same time! This is good advice too, for changing colors and things within posts.

  Cheers, all!

  Haha, @supernovia! By now, I learned to refresh the page before I post, especially with these long posts, just to make sure someone else did not answer it in the meanwhile but I guess we just missed each other.

  
  @kentpaschal3 I looked at your site before I posted and I wasn’t sure if you have already changed the colors or not. Then I am glad it worked out! We are always happy to help in this public forum but the live chat support is great!

  Cheers!
