Like.... How did it not get included? I get it, Power BI is not a text editor but... Presentation is half the battle with data.

Just ran into the lack of this feature myself. Background color can be changed, but Font color cannot. Please add this feature as soon as possible.

Really frustrating that users are unable to change the font color within a text box. As a workaround, I usually just make an empty box and give it a title with whichever color I want. Unfortunately this prevents me from using a specific font or type style.

The lack of this feature is incredibly annoying. If I want text in a box that is both broken up with line breaks and with a custom color, the best way to do this is either with multiple text boxes by formatting their titles, or by creating custom text buttons and importing them as images. For such a common feature, kind of mind-boggling that text boxes can't just include the ability to change font color.

I Almost solved it with this workaround Use the "KPI" Visual, Connect anything to the Indicator. Go to Format on the visual, In Tiltle you can adjust the Text content, Textsize, Fontcolor and Background color of the text. It's just the font you cannot change.

To have a higher chance to be implemented you could move your votes to this similar 'PowerBI Idea': https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/10336461-font-color-and-background-color-in-text-box

As many already have pointed out - HOW can this still be missing?

Hi Amanda, great news, thanks! Will this also include the ability to format hyperlinks within Text Boxes? Ideally, in addition to fore and back colours, it would be great to be able to change bold, italic and underline settings too.
