When typing in text, you want to consider the color contrast between the text and the background. For small text, (under size 18), a good contrast ratio is 7:1 or higher. For bigger text, (over size 18) a good contrast ratio is 3:1 or higher. Black text on a white background or 21:1 is considered to be the most accessible contrast ratio.
To color your text, highlight your text and go to the Font Panel Section in the Home Tab.
Select the Font Color Tab and choose a color.
