Question

How to change color of certain emojis?

I just upgraded from Photoshop CS6 to CC and I'm liking it so far. But in CS6, when I used the EmojiOne font, I was able to choose what color it could be, similar to regular text. But now in CC, all emojis stick to just one color. Is there a way to change its color like in CS6 without having to rasterize the layer and change its color to what I want manually?

I am sure I must be missing something, but you can select and set each character to a different colour.  I EmojieOne not a font as such?

The colors of the emoji font don't really change as if you were changing the color of a letter font.

There is a font that (I think) comes with Windows called Segoe UI Emoji, which is a plain monochrome font. There are various elements of the emojis accessible through the Glyphs panel:

    

You can stack these up and change colors in each layer to get variations of the final emoji:

I too have the same question and no, the information on the page linked to did not answer the question. In my case, I'd like to use a simple emoji like a heart but customize the color to specific hex color as one might do with font letters.

Thanks

Right click on EmojiOne layer and select Convert to Shape.  

Then apply your shape fill and stroke values as shown in reply #3.

This works equally well on EmojiOne and Trajan Color fonts.
