How to change text colour

[Quantum88]

This seems like a trivial question - but for the life of me I can't find the option to change the text colour in Adobe Express.

I chose a design and the colour scheme but still want to change some text to a different colour.

This is a basic design function, surely it must be there, somewhere.

can anyone advise please.

thanks

Clcik on the text you want to recolour and then click the coloured box to change colour. If the text is grouped with something else, such as in a template you may need to ungroup first.

Thank you!  For some reason, that colour box was opening for the background only not for text.

Now I can access it.

Is there a bold text option (which again is hiding from me 🙂 ?

There's no Bold, Italic etc as you'd see in perhaps Word. Instead, each typeface will have options which you can access via the small arrow on the left. 

If a typeface dosen't have a Bold option you could always try adding a 1px outline in the same colour to make it appear more bold.

I have the same issue, but this changes the color of all the text. What if I just want some of the lines or words to be different colors?
