About This Feature
Overview
Font Color is a built-in text formatting feature in WPS for iOS that lets you change the display color of selected text. After opening the Tools panel and going to the Home tab, you can choose a color in the font formatting area to highlight important content, separate text levels, or match a specific document style.
This feature works well for title emphasis, key-point marking, teaching notes, promotional copy, and everyday document formatting. The default font color is black, and you can review the final result in print preview before output.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In text documents on iOS, you can open Tools → Home → Font formatting and choose a text color for emphasis and document styling. | Word lets users change font color in font settings and also set a default font color in supported versions. | Google Docs lets users change text color and create custom colors with HEX, RGB, or an eyedropper tool. | Notion lets users apply color or highlight to inline text and text blocks. | Acrobat lets users edit text color in editable PDFs and adjust other text formatting in the edit panel. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The color-setting path is direct in the mobile editing flow, making it convenient for quick text color changes in document work on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation highlights desktop, Mac, and web workflows, and also covers default font color settings. | Compared with WPS: Google offers richer custom color options, while the official instructions mainly focus on computer workflows. | Compared with WPS: Notion offers flexible page styling, but its editing model is oriented more toward workspace pages than traditional document formatting. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF text editing, so the document type and editing context differ from WPS Writer-style text documents. |
