Capability Summary	In iOS spreadsheets, you can select a cell or range and apply a preset text color from Font Color on the Home tab, then open the palette for more color choices.	Word lets users change font color from Home and can set a default font color for documents; its official guidance focuses on document text formatting.	Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides let users change text color and create custom colors with preset colors, HEX, RGB, or an eyedropper.	Notion lets users apply color or highlight to inline text or full text blocks, and also supports slash commands for color changes.	Acrobat lets users edit text in PDFs and adjust text formatting, including color, in the editing panel.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry point is concentrated on the Home tab for spreadsheet editing on iOS, which is convenient for direct text marking inside cells.	Compared with WPS: The official page focuses on document font color and default style settings rather than mobile spreadsheet cell editing.	Compared with WPS: It offers broader custom color controls, but the official workflow mainly describes desktop and web editing across multiple products.	Compared with WPS: It is more oriented toward page layout and block styling than traditional spreadsheet cell text formatting.	Compared with WPS: It is mainly designed for PDF text editing, so the editing context differs from spreadsheet work.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Font Color is well suited to quick text highlighting and category marking in iOS spreadsheets. If your main task is spreadsheet editing on mobile, the WPS workflow is more direct.
