    The color of the callout text is the same as that of the sticky note itself. To change it select the comment and press Ctrl+E to open the Properties toolbar, and there you'll be able to change it.

    Therefore, Microsoft Office is my choice for above scenario.

    1. Comments by me only
    2. recipient of my Comments typically do not respond and

    For majority of my use, I probably use Microsoft Apps more than Adobe for Comments because Sticky Notes need more work such as

    1. Background Fill Color need another App to recolor
    2. precision of Position
