You can define a color by going to the menu Tools -> Options, expanding the OpenOffice list and choosing Colors.

Or better yet, define a coloured text style and set the colour for that style on its font effects tab.

On the Font Effects page you can select a Font color.

With the newest release of OO, you can use the new "sidebar" panel (View > Sidebar: ON) and change the font color directly.

[Solved] Customizing Font Colors?

Postby Seanadeus »

Hey everyone...

I've actually been using Open Office for several years, but I've recently come across something that I can't seem to find a clear answer to on any of the guides or forum posts so far.

I'm hoping someone else has figured this one out and can help me out...

So I'm working for a corporation that has a very specific logo, with colors that they feel are important to their logo to be EXACTLY the same anywhere products affiliated with them show up.

I can figure out the EXACT hex code for their colors easily enough, (blue = 003263 and red = 8A1B04), but I can't find ANYWHERE that I can truly control the colors of my fonts.

You can right click a cell in which the color is correct and in the Properties > Font Effects tab, the color name should be displayed.

With illustrator or a variety of programs, I can just access the colors for any given object and enter the hex code or CMYK or HSBRGB values and >poof< I'm now using that color.

When I try to change the font color on OpenOffice, I have an array of colors available, but I can't find a place to CUSTOMIZE any of those colors, or assign my own specific color.
