# Colored text

> Text set in a color other than black.

**Why it's flagged.** Some text has a color. Color may not survive into the book. Print is black and white inside unless your transmittal says *Color interior*.

**How serious.** Worth fixing for clearly colored text; Just noting for near-black.

**How to fix it.** In any editor:

1. Select the text and set the color to Automatic or black.
2. If the color marks something meaningful, like a link or an instruction to yourself, remove it or describe it in the transmittal's notes.
3. Check the passage in a proof.

**When to leave it.** Near-black text is harmless: the build sets it black. If the color is deliberate, tell the studio. In the full report, **correct as is** stops it being flagged.
