Formatting Bullet Colors

[Trevor]

When I am formatting the font color of my lists, the
bullets also change color. I want the bullet to remain
one color but the color of the font another color. Does
anyone know how to keep the bullet a different color from
the font text?
Thanks

Trevor, select your bullet list, then Format > Bullets and Numbering. Select
your bullet, then Customize. Bullet character should be selected on next
screen. Click Font. Select a color under Font Color, then OK all the way
out. Bullets will retain that color if you change the color of the text.

To undo it all, Format > Bullets and Numbering. Select the bullets; click
Reset, then OK.

After you change the font color, you can select the
bullets as a column and change them back.

If that doesn't work, you can try this workaround, but
you'll have to do it row by row: select the text from the
second letter to the end of the row. Change the color.
Place your insertion point after the second letter (the
first with the new color). Re-type the first two letters,
which become the third and fourth letters, and then delete
the first two.

DDM's answer is best if you want to control the bullets as a format.

For one-off changes: by default the bullet takes its character style from
the paragraph mark itself: so you can select the ¶ and set its color.
