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, there. While the default color of text in Rise 360 meets accessibility standards for contrast (12.38:1), I understand that you need an easier way to change the text color of your course globally. We have this request tracked, and we'll post any changes here!
Thanks Crystal... it's a big one for us. With 22 Trainers reviewing materials it's the only consistent comment we get. They all find black is better as they find the charcoal color hard to read.
I too would like to join the bandwagon on being able to change the default colour in one go - changing every block to black is proving to be taking a toll on my mouse hand (and I have an ergonomic mouse!)
Dear Articulate team, please consider this feature. Tons of us want to be able to set a default text color default in the same way that an Accent default can be set when creating a project. I know that Storyline is the flagship and getting most of the attention, but us Rise users need love too! Manually changing this for every single text block is a time sink.
Seems like a basic requirement - global changes to font and colour settings at any time. If this can be done in Storyline, why not Rise? Would like to see this a feature as soon as possible.
From this thread, it appears that most people would like to be able to control the default text colour along with the font. This has been asked for, for over 2 years now without a change. Even if the default colour was changed from grey to black would help most of us.
I'd like to add my voice to this request. As someone who has just authored 4 courses and has not been consistent at adjusting the text colour to black on every block every time, i now have the fun job of double checking every block, paragraph, image title and question/learning check feedback entry. A very time consuming and not terribly productive way to spend a day.
I'm adding my voice to this request too please, I am in the same situation as Nikki, it is very time consuming and frustrating. Please let us set our own default font or at least make the default font 'true black' as suggested in a previous post, rather than the grey whic can be hard to read.
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.
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!
I'm throwing my hat into the ring to get the option to set a default font colour for body text. Very annoying that in 2 years + it hasn't come to fruition.
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?
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.
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.

Agree. The current process is very time consuming and seems to be a no-brainer in terms of features.

Thanks for your consideration.
I'm adding my voice to this request! It is very time consuming changing the font colour on every block!
Would also like to add my interest to this.
Font - defaults
Colour - defaults
I'm also adding my vote to this one....
Font and colours - we should be able to change defaults!

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 Teresa, HEX is 313537
I highlighted the text and then clicked on the color droplet, as seen in the attached image.
Thank you @Andrew and @Janet, much appreciated!

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.
I concur really need a black default font color
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.
Commenting here so that I can be notified when this change has been made.
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.
