Change a text color using javascript GSAP

Hi,

I'm looking to change a text color using javascript GSAP.

I tried the following code:

let gemba = document.querySelector("[data-acc-text='Gemba']");

gsap.to(gemba, {duration:2, fill:'#8d3dae'});

It doesn't work. I think it because my accessibility text 'Gemba' is the name of the text box and not the text itself?

If i change 'fill' to 'backgroundColor', it changes the textbox color. But i want to change the text color.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Joshua
