Changing Font Color
Hi I'm working in Rise in the text blocks and cannot ALWAYS get the font color to change. I am able to change the Paragraph Header but not any text within the paragraph. I highlight the text, the box comes up to edit the color but when I click on the icon to change the color the box disappears.
Other times I am successful and can enter the number I want in HEX format but the color doesn't change. I have tried simply hitting entering after the inputting the color number or clicking ok, but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. This whole issue is extremely frustrating!
I am using Chrome as my browser. Please help!

Hiya, I am in a four column grid and everytime I try to change text colors, it doesn't work or it will assign to background color. I don't really know what to do?
Thanks,
Michele
Using Chrome...
Hi there, Michele. It sounds like you're using the four column grid from the gallery blocks. Are you editing the caption text in the editing window? Here's what I see when I use Chrome:
The text doesn't show the formatting in the editing window, but I can see the changes in my lesson. Can you share a Peek 360 screencast of what you're seeing on your end? Thanks!
Hi. Has this issue ever been resolved or have you discovered a workaround? I'd like to be able to change text colors consistently. Right now, it only works about 40% of the time.
Hi Debra,
Sorry to hear you're having issues changing font color. We haven't nailed down a cause for this issue since it's a tough one to recreate. If we make any progress with it, we'll send you an update!
This still happens to me, but much less than before.
What I've noticed when this happens, if you click on the Clear Formatting button, that changing the font color and size starts working again.
Note: this action does not always fix the problem.
Same problem. Super annoying.
Is there a way in settings you can change the font 'color' for the entire project. And change the default size of the font t a specific size instead of having to do it for each and every block?
Hi Milissa,
You cannot change the font 'color' for the entire project. Great ide though.
What we have done is to create a Block Template (for each block type that we use in our courses) that is styled and formatted according to our company visual style sheet.
It takes the same time to insert a block from the Block Template library compared to using the regular block options.
Not only do you not have to redo the formatting for each new block, it also ensures that the work done by different team members is identical.
how do we set the default to black rather grey?
Hi EF Reviewer! There isn't a way to change the default font color to black. You would need to change the color of the font per block. Thanks for letting us know that you need this option in Rise. We'll update this thread if we make any changes.
yep, same problem for me - glad to know I'm not alone though :)
Will restart and see how I go. Thanks all
Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know about a new Rise 360 enhancement. The default text color is now true black to improve accessibility conformance.
Open one of the courses on your Rise 360 dashboard to see the difference!
