Thanks, but I'm still having trougle. I'm attaching a slide that I'm working on. I need the answer text to be black, it's sort of gray when it shows on the screen. But I need the option text to remain white. I tried to create a new style and apply it, it works on the answer but it changes the option text to black as well. I want it to stay white. I didn't create this slide, I'm just modifying. I'm trying to figure out how to format it. Can the answer text be black while the option text remains white?
Great question! I understand you'd like to have the color for the matches in your drop-down question be black and the text for the choices remains white. I'd be happy to help you out with that!
After looking at your slide, I saw the same thing you did. When I select the matching drop-down question in the slide and change the text color to black, all the text (choices and matches) is changed to black. This is expected behavior in Storyline but I did find a workaround. Place a textbox with the same letter in white text over each of the choices. They will cover the choices in black text and give you the result you are looking for!
I attached an updated version of your slide with the textboxes in place.

You can't format a question's text while you're in Form View. But you can if you switch to Slide View.
