How to Customize Facebook Post Colors on iPhone

Did you know you can make your Facebook posts stand out with custom colors? On iPhone, Facebook’s mobile app allows changing the color of text, background, and links in your posts and status updates. With just a tap, you can highlight your Facebook content. 

Enable Color Posting on Facebook

The Facebook color post feature on iPhone allows you to add a colored background to your text posts. This can be a fun way to add some personality to your posts and make them stand out from the crowd.

To access color posting on mobile:

1. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone.

2. Tap on your profile picture or the pencil icon to create a new post.

3. As you type your post, notice the colored Aa icon next to the text field.

4. Tap the Aa icon to open formatting options.

5. Toggle on “Show Colors” to enable colored posts.

If the above steps don’t work, try this method instead:

1. Open the Facebook app on your iPhone.
2. Tap on the “What’s on your mind?” bar at the top of the screen.
3. Start typing your post.
4. While you’re typing, tap on the Color button that appears below your text.
5. A palette of colors will appear. Tap on a color to choose it.
6. You can also tap on the Gradient button to choose a gradient color.
7. Once you’ve chosen a color, your text will be displayed on a colored background.
8. Tap on the post to share your post.

Once enabled, you can choose colors for each post. The option persists for future posts.

Change Text Color

If you prefer to use colored text, you can also change the text color. Here’s how:

1. With “Show Colors” on, tap the Aa icon.

2. Tap the T icon next to the text field. 

3. Select your desired text color from the palette.

4. Type your status update or post. The text will appear in the chosen color.

You can use bold tones like red or soft hues like pastel blue to customize your message.

More Options to Change Text Color

Alternatively, you can use a third-party app like Canva or Photoshop to create a graphic with your text in a different color. You can then upload this graphic to Facebook as a post.

Another option is to use HTML color codes to add color to your text in Facebook comments. To do this, highlight the text that you want to color and then type the HTML color code into the comment box. For example, to make your text blue, you would type the following code:

<font color=”#0000FF”>Your text here</font>

Finally, you can also use emojis to add some color to your Facebook posts. For example, you can use the emoji for a red heart to make your text red.

Adjust Background Color

You can also change the background color of your Facebook post. To change the background color, follow these steps:

1. Tap the Aa icon to pull up color options.

2. Tap the highlighted rectangle icon.

3. Choose your preferred background color from the palette.

4. The post background will change to complement the text color.

Consider lighter backgrounds for dark text and vice versa for readability.
