On a Pc, you can VERY QUICKLY make a keyboard shortcut that will change your font color to whatever color you last used.
- Go to the Customize tab of Options.
- Near the bottom of the dialog box, click the button to customize keyboard shortcuts.
- Under Categories, choose Home tab.
- Under Commands, scroll to FontColorPicker.
- Click inside the 'Press new shortcut key' text box and type a keyboard shortcut.
- Then click the Assign button.
Every time you press that key combo, you will revert to the last-used color.
If you choose a key combo that it is currently in use, it will be overwritten by this new task/key combo.
