Selecting or replacing a font color is one of the most frequently used features of Photoshop when working with the Type tool. However, this opportunity should be used before the text is converted to a raster. However, the color of the rasterized lettering can be changed using the color correction tools.

Instructions
Step 1
To create inscriptions in Photoshop, tools of the Type group are used, which is easy to find in the tool palette. The ability to select the color of the font used becomes available after activating any tool from this group. By default, the font color coincides with the main color that has been preserved in the program's settings since the time of its previous launch.
Step 2
In order to select the color of the font with which you are going to make an inscription, click on the colored rectangle, which is located on the right side of the settings panel under the main menu. Specify the desired color on the opened color palette. If you are going to overlay an inscription over a picture, you can select one of the colors that are present in this image by clicking on the area of the picture filled with the desired color. This will change the cursor pointer to an eyedropper.
Step 3
You can customize the font color through the Character palette. Open this palette with the Character option from the Window menu and specify the desired color by clicking on the colored rectangle in the Color field.
Step 4
The font color can be changed while entering text. As a result, you will get a two-color inscription, since the part of the text typed before changing the font color will retain the previous color.
Step 5
If you need to change the font color after finishing editing the text or in a psd file with text layers that are not rasterized, select the text layer by clicking on it in the layers palette and select the Horizontal Type Tool or the Vertical Type Tool. The choice of tool, in this case, depends on whether the inscription is made horizontally or vertically.
Step 6
Place the cursor at the beginning or end of the label, click on it and select the text with the mouse. The font color for the selection can be changed through the Character palette or through the settings panel under the main menu.
Step 7
After the Rasterize Type option has been applied to the lettering, the ability to change the color of its font through the settings of the Type tool or the Character palette will disappear. To change the color of such text, use the options collected in the Adjustments group of the Image menu.
