Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
With a piece of text like below, because it contains bold, plain and URL links if I select all of it there is nowhere to change the text colour that I can find.
Any idea where it is?
If I use Pages for iOS there is a text colour icon

Perhaps this will help explain my problem.
Without hyperlinks the text colour selector is there
Include hyperlinks and the text colour selector goes
This is no use if I want to change a whole block of text as I often do
Remember the iOS version behaves differently.
If there is no remedy forthcoming I will report it as a possible bug to Apple.

I will mark this nonresponse as best answer because I believe it is a kind of "bug" related only to converted Word documents originally created with the default "Automatic" text colour which is a MS concept not a Pages concept.
Exactly why iOS can cope with it remains a mystery.
Thanks all for looking
No points to me! Passing on to Apple feedback.
Just to knock this on the head I created a new Pages document from scratch, not a converted Word document, and it behaves exactly as expected.
It's a kind of bug but only for people coming from Microsoft!
Thank you for responding picas. If I select text colour the colour selection box does not appear. Just shows Multiple fill types again.
I think this must be because the original text was from MS Word which has colour Black and it has colour Automatic which is the default. I don't think Pages can cope with it.
The section modified by Pages for iOS to red will have removed the automatic colour.
I will feedback to the Apple pages team - last time I reported something they actually came back!
And just to make it even more absurd, after I have changed the colour in Pages for iOS, in this case to red, blocks including hyperlinks will now have the colour selector as expected
In Pages on Mac, click on Multiple Fill Types and select Text Colour.
I don't think it's a bug. Pages on iOS is "simplified".
How can I change text colour with multiple
