Highlight the relevant text (without its bullet / number). Select the color you want.
Note: The text changes to the new color, but the bullets and numbers stay the color you chose in step 3.  Responsive text across breakpointsWith Editor X, you can set how your text looks on all sceensizes. Below are some useful tools to help you create the perfect text.Scaling textClick the Scale Text icon  to set the maximum and minimum size of your text across breakpoints. This means that the size of your text adjusts to your visitor's screen, but always within the range that you define.This helps to ensure that your text fits every possible screen while not overlapping other elements or taking up more space than you want. Tip:If you've set the minimum and maximum sizes and your text still wraps into additional lines, try increasing the width of the text box to allow more space for the text to resize.Stacking textWhen viewing your site from a smaller screen, elements often get resized which could lead to loss of important information. Stacking ensures that your text never overlaps other elements, regardless of screen size, by creating a flex-box which gives each component its space.Stacking is also useful for text boxes that should always appear together, such as a heading and paragraph. This way, they stay together in all breakpoints.To use stack, multi-select the text elements and click Stack.Learn more about stacking elements.Fixed vs. fluid sizingUse the Inspector on the right side of the Editor to set how your text is resized when the breakpoint changes.Fixed: The text remains at a fixed size in each breakpoint.Fluid: The width of the text gets larger and smaller according to the breakpoint size.
