About This Feature

Overview

Font Color is a built-in text-formatting feature in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It lets you change the display color of text in selected cells or selected text, making it easier to mark categories, highlight key values, and improve visual structure.

Core tasks include:

Apply a preset font color to selected cells or ranges for quick visual marking.
Open the palette to view more preset colors when the default choices are not enough.
Change the color of only part of the text in edit mode for more precise emphasis.
Keep the cell content unchanged while adjusting only the text appearance.

This feature is useful for data labeling, status marking, spreadsheet cleanup, and print review.
