It's time for your daily dose of Wordpress Wisdom! In today's quick tutorial I'll be showing you how to play with color! With the block editor, changing the colors in your posts is VERY easy, and today I'll be showing you how to change the color of your paragraph text, your headlines, and even a very cool feature on how to highlight specific text inside a paragraph.

Remember though, you don't want to go CRAZY with color! The best user experience is the simplest option: black text on a white background. But, you're in control, right? And if you have a specific reason for needing to play with the colors inside your posts now you'll be able to with ease!

As always, feel free to share this video with anyone needing help with this. If you have any Wordpress related questions that you'd like to see me create a tutorial around feel free to send me a private message or leave me a message on my profile.

If you want to check out all my Wordpress Wisdom tutorials you can go to the WA smart search up top (magnifying glass) and type in "Wordpress Wisdom" or just head over to my blog.

Be productive!
Get to work!
I'll see you next time!

Great tips, Eric! Keep 'em coming! I'm learning a lot from this series, thanks...

Awesome! Glad you're enjoying it!

Another great little tutorial Eric! I could have used this trick MANY times instead of just bolding or italicizing text I want emphasized. Thank you!

Nice! You're very welcome!

I see from watching tonight's class that you only recently figured that trick out yourself! šŸ˜‚

yup! Hot off the press!

Great little tutorial as always Eric! I do love playing around with different colours depending on the subject!

But... as you say, it's best not to go wild with them, keep things simple most of the time but some colour here or there when appropriate won't do much harm for the UX in my opinion when highlighting anything important!
