‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to change text color in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To change the color of text in InDesign, highlight the text and go to the Properties panel.
  2. In the Appearance section, click 'Fill' and choose your new text color.
  3. Watch the new color apply to the text.

📌 Why this matters

Changing text color transforms your designs from functional drafts into polished communications that guide reader attention and convey meaning. You can establish visual hierarchy by using darker colors for headlines and lighter shades for body text, or reinforce brand identity by applying consistent color schemes across all materials.

Color also carries emotional weight—warm reds create urgency while cool blues suggest trust. Beyond aesthetics, strategic text color choices help ensure accessibility compliance and readability across different viewing conditions, making your content more effective for diverse audiences.
