Finding the Font Color
Every once in a while you must work with a document where a custom color was used to format headings or other pieces of text. If you’re lucky, the font color used is one of the standard choices in the Font Color Palette. Changing the font color is quick and easy.
Standard Colors
First, to find the color of a piece of text. Next, click on the Font Color button (located on the Home ribbon). This displays Theme Colors and Standard Colors. If the color is a standard color, look for a color block outlined in red. If no color is outlined, it is not a standard color.
More Colors
From this point, click More Colors. A hexagon color palette will appear. If your text color is on this palette, the color will be outlined in white. If no color is outlined, you need to find the Custom color.
Custom Colors
It’s not difficult to find out if the color used was a Custom Color. Click on the Custom tab. Make note of the Red, Green, Blue values that make up that particular color. Once you know the values, enter them into the Custom Color palette for other programs – for example, creating an exact color match in MSPowerPoint, MSExcel or others.
Reveal Formatting
Last, you can also use the SHIFT+F1 to open the Reveal Formatting pane. This pane will give you information about the text you selected – or wherever your insertion point is.
