Not essential, but would be nice to have color formatting options for text inside cards and docs.

Second this. Seems related to:

> Hi guys, I really like the color feature and I’ve been using it extensively with dates to show upcoming due dates, and massively overdue stuff (over a month for example, which is an option). I’m finding though that the small “bar” of color: does not give my team quite the effect of being able to see at a glance, in meetings, highlighted cards. Would you guys consider adding a preference her to color the entire card? So I could choose if I want just the “bar” that is the current op…

Definitely in favor of adding visual distinction in a sensible way wherever’s there’s an opportunity, tactful use of color is as great way to do this!

I agree. We need it too.

Approved, waiting in the backlog to be implemented, noted every request 💖

Hey, it is more than 2 years from adding to backlog, do you know release plan for this feature?

3 years later…when do you think this will be added? The current text is not even black black so having more control over color will definitely help.

We really need this basic feature…

I just pasted a table into a document, which works, except the background color of cells is dark and the font color has been converted to black so it’s unreadable.  
This would require either to be able to change the background color of cells (not ideal as I want to keep the original colors), or to be able to change the font color.

I have missed this feature so many times anyway, just to put some text in bold red for instance, to make it standout much more than the current highlighter.

So you were pasting from a source where the cells had a dark shading colour and the text was light (and thus visible) but it’s hard to read because Fibery does not support a text colour other than black, right?

Just to set expectations, this feature request is not prioritised highly, and we are unlikely to work on it soon.

Yes exactly. But this is really just 1 usecase.  
Not having font colors in documents seems so off/missing, I just worked on a Notion page that a friend shared with me and it’s one of the first features I used… and it’s definitely the 1 small feature I’ve been missing for the last few years and which makes Fibery feel uncomplete.

Well, we are happy to collect feedback, but at the moment, it’s not something we’re prioritising I’m afraid.

Text color is going to be increasingly important, because:

- **AI-Driven Personalization:** AI can dynamically adjust text colors to highlight key information or adapt to user preferences.

- **Enhanced Accessibility:** Automations or AI-powered systems can modify text colors for users with visual impairments for better readability.

- **Context-Aware Colors:** Automations or AI could apply colors to entity titles or content that align with context like a parent project or team.

- **Collaborative Clarity:** Text colors can distinguish contributions or edits in real-time, enhancing clarity and teamwork during concurrent editing. That would be super helpful.

- **Programming Code Clarity:** Using colored text for code snippet highlighting within documentation improves readability and comprehension. Highlighting code is not possible in code blocks.

- **LaTeX Color for Visualization:** Enabling color formatting in LaTeX documents enhances clarity for mathematical or scientific presentations.  

- **Keeping Up with Trends:** As AI tools increasingly integrate dynamic visual features, so if Fibery implements color formatting it will stay relevant and offer a modern, user-focused experience.

## Dirty and complex workaround

You can use a script that converts something into LaTeX colored text. For example, as seen in the screen recording below I demonstrate:

- first a button that converts headers into colored headers,
- and another button converts text with background color into LaTeX colored text.

If you are interested in the script, let me know.

There are some issues with this however:

- I did not yet manage to make the latex colored text wrap correctly in the margins.
- The script changes your original markdown, so you need to save it in another field, or create a revert script.

Of course, we are waiting for Fibery to hopefully soon implement simple and normal text color option in the rich text editor.

Any hope for text color?
