  If you are into fiddling about with font size in each and every post and/or page you make by using the Text editor (HTML editor) then you can change it in the body text in posts and pages without an upgrade.

  These are 3 ways to change fonts on WordPress.com blogs.

  (1) Changing font families, colors and size in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page by coding into the Text ie. HTML editor. http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/07/11/formatting-text-pt-5/

  (2) Changing font colors in text in posts or pages either post by post or page by page using the #4 icon (Select text color – change the text color) in Row 2 the Visual editor. http://en.support.wordpress.com/visual-editor/#row-2

  (3) Changing all font families, colors and sizes throughout the whole blog by purchasing an annually renewable Custom Design upgrade and using Typekit Fonts with Staff support.

  On the “ADD NEW”, there are “Text color” which indicates 40 colors.
  It was very easy to use for text coloring.
  On the 40 square, where before was pointed color “light gray”, now appears crosshair and says “no color”.
  Why I have to complicate all this with your codes?

  See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/test-color-context-menu-gonewhy?replies=9 That was removed from the text editor by Staff. We have to use HTML codes now if we want more colors.

  I am not speaking nonsense.
  I am a Volunteer.
  I am telling you that Staff changed that feature in the editor.
  The workaround is in the thread I linked to.

  The hex color code for Light Gray is #C0C0C0

  As one of the changes to the editor, the “More colors” option under Text colors has been removed.

  It’s possible we may build in new ways to change text color in the future, but for now, you’ll need to use the default set of colors. If you need to use a custom color, you can choose a default color from the palette, and then edit the color in the Text editor window to add your custom color as a six-digit “hex” color.
