I apologize if I missed any existing posts on this topic. I am wondering if there is a way to set font color globally in RISE for paragraph text. It seems to default to a grey color, which isn't enough contrast for us. To avoid the laborious task of having to manually change that for each text block, is there a way to designate this to apply globally? I only see the option in Theme settings to set the contrast color and font. Not seeing anywhere you can designate the color for paragraph text.

Indeed. IMO, the default font color really needs to be black. The dark gray - it seems barely compliant for readability/accessibility standards.

Ran into this issue today. This seems like a very basic functionality, and it's odd that there's not a way to set a default global text color. Yes, the workaround above works, but for something as simple as global text color, there shouldn't have to have one. And having to make Block Templates for every unique block I make is annoying.

+1 Articulate... as I'm leaning into Rise more, I'm wasting the expected rapid production benefits over SL with silly constant font color edits or duplicating blocks first, then pasting new text. It's clumsy and an easy feature request.

I am having to edit all of our courses due to rebranding and it sure is tedious to have to go line by line or paragraph by paragraph to edit text color.

So if the default color is grey, and that seems to be an issue with a lot of folks (myself included - I mean, who actually *wants* grey font?), why not just change the default to black? This is a HUGE pain in the a**, as having to change the color on every bit of text - headings, paragraphs, processes, tabs, etc., is a massive waste of time. Please, for the love of Rudy and all that is holy, PLEASE update this.

+4 votes on this from my colleagues and I. Such an excruciating pain point that wastes so much development time.

Share surprise of previous posters that this has been an active request for so many years for something that seems so simple to adjust on the back end with the change of a hex code.

Articulate, are you able to respond to let us know if this is on your radar for a feature update in 2023? I'm sure you have a lot of requests to work through, but this seems like a quick win that would make a lot of your user base happy.

+1 This should be a feature in-general, regardless of being able to use the blocks this way. I mean, it's kinda weird this wasn't a feature in the first place.

AMAZING. Is there a "Mark as SUPER HELPFUL" button?

Am I missing something? I created a new text block and the color was still grey, not black. I can't see a setting for it.

thanks

  Hi there, Chris! I recorded this 40-second Peek video for you to show you how the text color should be true black (#000000) when you insert a text block.
  
  If you're not seeing the same thing from your side, you may simply need to close your Rise 360 course and open it again for editing.
  
  If it still isn't working, please send me a similar Peek video to show me what's going on!

This company is incredible. They literally let major issues blocking customer sit for 5 freaking years. Stay tuned for an alternative. Too bad Rise is busy blowing their money on garbage features nobody wants

I'd rather be able to set my own default text colors globally for a course or theme. True black is not in my organization's color palette.
