    I have red text over a transparent background. I’ve added the spotlight effect and it changes the text to black with a red spotlight. How do I keep the text red and make the spotlight a different color?

    Go into the light settings and change the light color to a neutral color, like white.

    What if I want to change the color to something like blue when it shines on the red text?
    Do I just go into the light settings and change the light color to, lets say blue?

    I don’t want to mix the colors…I want the text to be red and where the spotlight is, blue.

    If I want the spotlight to be blue and go into the light settings and change the light color to blue, will this keep my text red and my spotlight blue? or will it combind the red and blue and make my spotlight a very dark purple?
