What You'll Learn
Choosing text colour over background colour
When using Microsoft Paint, you can change the text colour and the background colour. To add text, click the "A" button, type your words, and then click "Fill" or press "B" to fill in the text with colour. To change the text colour, head to the "Colours" section at the top and choose your desired colour. If you don't see the colour you want, click "Edit Colour" to choose from primary colours or use the colour selector for more precision. You can also input specific Hue, Sat, Lum, or RGB values.
The background colour will only be visible if you choose "Opaque". If you select "Transparent", the background colour will not work. When you draw the text area, the MS Paint ribbon will open text customisation options, including font style, size, boldness, and italics. The Colours" section will allow you to select the foreground colour (Colour 1) and background colour (Colour 2) from a set of pre-selected colours or by editing and choosing custom colours.
It is important to note that once you click anywhere on the canvas, you cannot re-edit or change anything. MS Paint will apply the text to the image, and the only option is to redo the entire process. Therefore, it is essential to plan and be careful when selecting text and background colours in the Paint application.
