Paint is a free drawing and editing program for Windows that allows you to add text, pictures, shapes and colors to an existing picture or to a new document. If your text looks a little boring or isn't showing up on the background of your document or picture, you can quickly and easily change the font color of your text within Paint. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you'll be able to customize your Paint document.
