To change the color of a rich text element in Webflow, you have a couple of options depending on your specific needs. Here are the steps to accomplish this:

  2. Access the styles panel: On the right-hand sidebar, click on the Styles tab to open the panel if it's not already visible.

  3. Navigate to the typography section: Scroll down the styles panel until you find the Typography section.

  4. Modify the text color: Within the Typography section, you'll find various options to adjust the appearance of your text. Look for the Color option and click on the color swatch to open the color picker.

  5. Choose a new color: In the color picker, you can adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness sliders to select the desired color. You can also enter a specific color value if you have a specific color in mind.

  6. Apply the new color: Once you've chosen your desired color, click outside the color picker to close it. The rich text element will now update to reflect the new color.

Alternative method (using CSS):

<selector> {  color: <your-color>;}

Replace <selector> with the appropriate CSS selector for your rich text element (e.g., .rich-text). Replace <your-color> with the color value you want to use (e.g., #FF0000 for red).

  1. Apply the changes: After adding the CSS code snippet, click the Save and Close button to apply the changes. The rich text element will now be updated with the new color.
