Title says it all. In my handouts, I can format everything but suddenly tonight I can no longer change the color of text. It goes back to black when I save. Strangely enough...I can change the color of the highlight, just not the text itself.
I'm having the same issue and it has ground my work to a halt.  I hope this gets corrected soon.

Weird. How have I never noticed that you can color text???

I use colors to help me read easier. Otherwise I get lost in the middle of paragraphs at times.
I can confirm this. I'm also having trouble now when applying text colors, 99% of the time it just goes back to the default color.

+1 As a workaround, you can copy and paste some text that is already colored.

+1, I use colors to theme my adventures. An inferno adventure will likely have red text as headers with default text beneath it.

I have filed a report, but the more folks who file a  Help Center Request , the more attention this will get.
Hey folks, we're aware of this issue and are working on it. No specific time for a fix right now, but we'll update when we've got news!
Same problem here 
Also having this problem
Hoping the font color issue and the image paste issue are caused by the same problems, and that it's fixable. Lets wait.

I'm also having this problem. Changing font color in handouts is definitely bugged atm and there seems to be issues with pasting pictures into handouts too.
Both the font color and image pasting is fixed -- please let us know if something comes up!

I think it got posted between your post and now. :)

Hm, I appear to now be having issues with text formatting such as Superscripts and Underlining. I don't know if this is useful but when Superscripting text in the editor the text no long becomes smaller either. Disregard, just had to refresh my page :P
all good here

This is broken again. The in-game Summernote text editor was switched again to the version that cannot save colors on text (seemingly because it uses a different tag which is stripped by the html sanitization when saving the handout). 😞  Aside from the color issue, this version also breaks the ability to place paragraphs within a blockquote (done by switching the text within the blockquote to Normal and then hitting the Enter key to start a new paragraph). Hitting enter causes the blockquote to be split at the point where Enter was pressed so that there are multiple blockquotes instead of a single one.

I can confirm that it is broken again...of course, I only found out after hours of work and formatting. It changes in edit mode...but when we save the handout, the colors go bye-bye!
Hey folks, Confirming the issue on our end. We are looking into a fix now and will update with more info as soon as we have it. Sorry everyone for the trouble!

Another update! The problem should be fully resolved now and we've taken steps to prevent it from returning in the future. I've been told that you shouldn't even need to clear your cache/cookies so if you continue to have any issues please let me know!
Sadly... i'm having this problem right now, that is: if I recolor the text of an handout, it goes back to black when saving.

Thank you for reporting it. Edit: I'm being told it was broken for a couple hours potentially but should be fixed again.
Great! It's working again. (if it does not work for you, just reload the page with F5 or ctr+F5 and it will!). Thanks!

Oh hey! From the  Change Log : Gives the Text Tool a stroke color option That's neat, and probably why they kept breaking this.
