Editing HTML in a text editor is not like editing a document and changing preferences in a Microsoft Word document. There are two ways to change the font color of a table created with HTML. If you want to change the color of a single line of text, you can use the "<font>" tag to define the color. Alternatively, if you have multiple cells or rows or want to change the color of the entire table, you can use CSS style tags.
Step 1
Start Notepad or another text editor and open the HTML document containing the table you want to change.

Step 2
Locate the string of text in your table you want to change to a different color.
Step 3
Insert "<font color="colorname">" (without the quotes on the ends) before the text, where "colorname" is the name of the color you want the text to be. Use the "</font>" tag after the string of text. For example, to change the font color to purpose you would type the command below. <font color="purple">Purple Text</font>
