Is there a way to "clear" character color instead of reset all other character style settings?

 

I know it looks to be a silly question.

Thanks!

In Character Style Options > Character Color, Cmd/Ctrl + click on the [None] swatch until the fill color icon shows question marks in the corners.

Do what Willy Adberger writes in his last answer: Cmd/Ctrl click on the color which is currently applied.

Adding to David's reply, hold down Command/Ctrl and click on the color that is assigned to the text. Does basically the same thing, but one click. 🙂

Thanks, @diane_Burns but it's not the slution in this case. I have some paragraphs in different colors. These specific style can be applied in some of them. It shouldn't have a color. 🙂
