Hi all I know how to change the default colour in the settings, but can you set a default colour for the font? It seems to be set to grey, and I need to go and change each text block to black.

Hello Articulate Rise - From reading this chain of posts, it appears that fonts are still defaulted to grey. What this means is that I'll have to go through the entire course I'm working on, block by block, to switch the font to black. With accessibility at the forefront of our work, the default should be black (if defaulting is required) and then custom changes would be for those who want to switch to grey. Please work on this issue.

It appears that the global font color has been an issue for several years with Rise. Is there any plan to make it easy to set the color for the entire course to one color?

Dear Articulate 360, Can you please give us an explanation as to why this is taking up to 3 years (and probably more) to sort out this issue? I respect that you wish to leave the default as #313537, but would it be possible to give your customers the option to use any default font colour they want? I understand that you have other processes that are taking priority - but this seems to also be a priority to your customers. Thanks and wish this gets sorted out soon.

It would be nice to be able to change the default font in all areas of Rise. Particularly because research shows that black font is more accessible for those with visual impairments, or vision-related disabilities; and it's my own aim, as well as that of my firm's, to make our content as accessible as possible. I understand why the trend toward gray happened, but there must be other ways to enhance the UX for all learners...and developers? Like adjusting font size, or tighter, more concise writing... And frankly, my own eyes are not that great, so after working in Rise for several hours, I am feeling the eye strain myself!

Hi! I have the same issue. We have a need of branding all our trainings according to our corporate brand. And that includes the font color. The trainings can sometimes be quite long so it`s annoying and it takes us a lot of unnecessary time to do this manually for each text segment. That also goes for background colors to each segment. It would be great to be able to change the default also for that, even though maybe not the game changer the option of changing the default font color would be. I mean, the USP with Rise is that it is easy to use, but this makes it less easy, so it´s actually quite counter productive not to have that option.

Does anyone know what the HEX code or RGB code is for the RISE default grey font? I want to add a picture of some text and would like to match it to the same font colour.

  Hi Teresa, HEX is 313537
  
  I highlighted the text and then clicked on the color droplet, as seen in the attached image.

Hi Teresa,

Try these RGB values out: 49, 53, 55. I started a new course, took a screenshot of a "Paragraph with Heading" block, then used the eyedropper tool in PPT. Assuming that the paragraph body text is the same color as the heading, this should be close enough to match even it's not 100% exact. Good luck!

Hi Rise Community

I would also like to add my vote to this feature. My accessibility team have recently pointed out the grey colour needs to be updated to black. I am now going block by block and it is time consuming. Please can you work on this feature, it would make a lot of people happy.

Thank you so much for taking everyone's concerns into consideration. It would be amazing to be able to make BLACK a font color for the entire project rather than changing every single block. Thank you for hopefully making this update.

  I wouldn't hold your breath, this has been requested for 3 years :-( Very tedious manually changing every bit of text on large course

I have to add a vote for this as well. Why default to grey? Please work on a way to default to another color text.

I will add to this as well. The grey font is not accessible enough so to have it as a default doesn't make a lot of sense. It should just default #000000 - I have to change it on every block. And I find the text is even harder to read in the tabs. So gonna chime in as well.

With the addition of the business content, being able to change the default font size and colour across an entire lesson is VERY important.
