+## Description
+
+Learn how to change the text color of a [Block]({%slug radpdfprocessing-editing-block%}).   
+
+![Change Text Block's ForeColor ><](images/pdfprocessing-text-color.png)     
+
+## Solution
+
+To set the text color of a block, use the `FillColor` property of the [Block]({%slug radpdfprocessing-editing-block%})'s `GraphicProperties`. This property determines the color used for rendering the content elements of a block. To apply the change only to specific text, use the `SaveGraphicProperties()` and `RestoreGraphicProperties()` methods. These methods allow you to apply a temporary change and revert to the previous settings.
+
+### Example Code
+
+```csharp
+RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
+RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage();
+FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
+
+// Create a block to add styled content
+Block infoBlock = new Block();
+
+// Save current graphic properties
+infoBlock.SaveGraphicProperties();
+
+// Set the FillColor for the text
+infoBlock.GraphicProperties.FillColor = new RgbColor(255, 10, 10);
+infoBlock.InsertText("Telerik Document Processing: ");
+
+// Restore previous graphic properties
+infoBlock.RestoreGraphicProperties();
+infoBlock.InsertLineBreak();
+infoBlock.InsertText("RadPdfProcessing");
+infoBlock.InsertLineBreak();
+
+// Position and draw the block
+editor.Position.Translate(100, 100);
+editor.DrawBlock(infoBlock);
+
+// Export the document
+string fileName = $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.pdf";
+File.Delete(fileName);
+PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
+using Stream stream = File.OpenWrite(fileName);
+provider.Export(document, stream, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
+
+Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { UseShellExecute = true, FileName = fileName });
+```
