That sounds to me like your image mode is set to Grayscale, not RGB Color:

Are you asking for a how-to? Or are the tools not working?

For the text, do the following:

Double-click on the text and it should all become highlighted
Click on the Color picker menu in the Text Tool's options.
Pick a color swatch
Click the blue checkmark.

The pencil drawing tool uses the foreground color which you can change by clicking on the color picker at the bottom of the tool panel and choosing your desired color:

If these tools are not working as expected, we need more information from you. But the first step would be to reset the preferences. Go to the Edit>Preferences>General tab and click the Reset Preferences on next launch button.

Can you post screenshots or a video?
