| Capability Summary | Font Color in WPS Writer supports preset colors, custom colors, and an eyedropper from the Home tab for everyday document formatting. | Word lets users change font color and set a default font color for the current document or template. | Google Docs supports text color, preset colors, custom HEX or RGB values, and an eyedropper tool. | Notion supports text color and highlight styling for selected text or blocks, including slash-command color changes. | Acrobat lets users edit PDF text color while also adjusting font, size, and other text formatting options. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS keeps preset colors, custom color selection, and eyedropper access in a familiar document editing workflow for fast formatting. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft highlights default font color settings in templates, but the cited page is less focused on screen color sampling in regular document editing. | Compared with WPS: Google offers strong custom color support, but its official page notes browser support conditions for the eyedropper. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page and block styling than on traditional document layout workflows. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers this workflow on PDF editing and revision rather than standard word-processing layout. |
| Official Source | — | Change the default text color in Word | Change the color of text, objects, and backgrounds | Style and customize your page | Edit text in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: WPS Font Color fits everyday document editing well because it combines preset colors, custom color controls, and eyedropper-based sampling in one writing workflow. If your work centers on template defaults, collaborative page styling, or PDF revision, the other products may fit those specific scenarios better.
