I am voting for adding the ability to change text color. Especially when writing descriptions and or notes in a project! It helps to provide clear section or topic changes rather than just all one color (regardless of bolding/underlining or not) it seems that there are a lot of folks who would like this feature, too. Hoping Asana makes this update 
Personally I don’t care about colour options in text.
If this does end up being considered, I’m hoping this won’t get in the way of Further Markdown Support, which I think is an underrated request.
Really frustrating this this feature isn’t on the horizon. We use comments in Asana for content reviews and being able to highlight text changes would be extremely useful. The existing options are to apply bold, italics, & underlines, but sometimes those are used in the actual end copy, so having to rely on them to indicate changes can get messy.
Marking as “Considered”! While I don’t have a timeline for you all in supporting text highlighting specifically, this is one of my go-to Text Editor enhancement references for work we plan to do in the upcoming year.

We switched from Jira to Asana and the lack of font colors is a critical drawback compared on how we used to work. Please fix this, the vast majority of rich HTML editors have font color selection.
Does this mean that you don’t have a time frame, but it the Asana team is actively working to make it a feature?
I’d like to re-itterate this.
I can understand the desire for text colour (although I don’t find myself in need of it) but I feel addressing this before supporting real markdown support would not be wise, as it would introduce more re-work / resistance to improving markdown support.
I’d say tackle markdown first, and then solve the colour challenge once.
In the last month since my previous comment, I’ve taken over ownership of our Notes roadmap and have been hyper-focused on our Text Editor enhancement roadmap more broadly. There are plenty of comments in this thread for me to pull from, but for anyone new to the thread: sharing specific use cases for why this is critical to your workflows would be extremely helpful and timely for me as I weigh priority and tradeoffs between a number of different Text Editor improvements. Enhancing the Text Editor has become a priority for us and as always I appreciate you all’s partnership in helping to define our roadmap!

It helps when highlighting different sections and important information in the description box

Please add font color and highlighting options. Would be so helpful in demonstrating importance of key words or phrases in descriptions; would be great for comments, too.
