# Color ### Introduction The Color value controls a Text object's color. The Color value is created by combining the Red, Green, and Blue values. The Color value can be changed through the color picker, or by changing the individual Red, Green, and Blue color values.

Changing the Color values by changing Red, Green, Blue, or using the color picker

### Color Multiplication For default Text objects, the Color value modifies the displayed Text color. Gum creates .fnt and .png files where the color is white. If the .png includes any colors that are not white, then the resulting color is produced by *multiplying* the color value with each pixel. Therefore, if a Font is outlined, then the black pixels remain black.
