To change the color of your font, follow these steps: 

1

Select your text

Select the text you want to change. 

A text box is selected on a design, displaying an edit border and a formatting toolbar within the VistaPrint Design Studio.
2

Open the text color tool

In the text toolbar, choose the text color option. It's represented by a colored dot that shows the current color of your selected text.

The color selection tool is highlighted in the top editing toolbar, represented by a circular icon showing the current text fill.
3

Choose your new color

Pick a color from the color palette, use the eyedropper tool to match a color from your design or enter a HEX or CMYK color code for an exact match.

A Text color sidebar is open, showing a detailed gradient map and hex code field used to define a specific custom shade.
4

Apply your color

When you select a color, it will be applied instantly to the selected text. If you want to try different colors, repeat the steps until you find the perfect match.

The Text color panel displays a library of swatches a blue one has been selected and the selected textfield is the same color
