Click to expand...

Make a character style that consists of the default paragraph style
plus the custom font color. That style can be assigned a toolbar
button or a keyboard shortcut.

To make the style, put the cursor in a paragraph with Normal style and
no direct formatting. Click Format > Styles and Formatting. In the
task pane, click the New Style button.

In the New Style dialog, insert a name for the style and set its style
type to Character. Check the box for "Add to template". Click the down
arrow on the font color button and choose More Colors. In the Colors
dialog, click the Custom tab and choose the color you want. Click OK
in both dialogs.

To assign a button or shortcut, see
