Can’t change Text color in character box?

[Terry Coolidge]

Is the text you’re trying to change selected? A specific text string (characters) has to actually be selected, i.e. “highlighted.” Just selecting the text layer won’t do it. Otherwise you’re just setting the default text color for the next time you create text.

Terry, thank you for your answer.

My problem is that I pick the text icon in the tool bar and I inserted in the composition widow, and instead of coming white it show pink. I tried to change the color of the pink text and it turns a mix of pink and the chosen color? Very strange, but I tried everything (including the character box). Thanks in advance if you have an answer…
