How to change the text color in an Excel shape? I am trying to change the text color specifically for a diamond. The background fill defaults unfortunately to blue -which I changed to white .. which is the same color as their choice for text .  Polar bear in a blizzard anyone?



"Look ma they can't see me !"



The funny thing is - the rounded rectangle does allow changing the text color:
For whatever reason the option to set text color has been neglected in the Format Shape panel on the right side.  However I noticed it can be set in the Main Ribbon
