Hi,
How do I change font colour or size in an email in the iPad with iOS7 ? I can find bold/underline/italics but totally stumped with font colour. It must work because I can receive an email that has other colour fonts and then copy and paste so...why is this so hard to find? Is the option even there?
Thanks,
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1
That is very unfortunate. There is a work around if you would like to know....if you copy and paste from another email something that is in the colour you want and then start typing and delete what you pasted in you can then use that colour. Not the best solution but, it is possible.
I sure hope Apple decides to add this option for the iPad soon!
Thanks!

I found you can change font colour on email. Select text, then choose Quote level, then by choosing increase or decrease the font changes through blue and green. Haven't found a way to do this in Notes unfortunately. Hope this helps.
For Mail I use an app, HTML Mail Editor as my starting point. (It's only 99¢.) I even have it in my Dock to start my emails.
With it you can create simple little templates specifying your font face, size and color for quick, large typeface emails, or you can edit your outgoing email directly in the App for more complete control. It's pretty easy.
Example template "Helvetica 16" :
<font size="16" face="Helvetica">REPLACE
</font>
Once that is created in the HTML Mail Editor, there's a Send button. I just click send and it's placed in an outgoing email, I select and type over "REPLACE" within Mail and the email is in a bigger font. Of course you can change the font and size number to make whatever simple templates you want. I do it this way so the templates are always ready. If I edit in the program, I mess up the template.
See http://iosfonts.com for the font options. This opens up a lot more fonts and control than you normally have.

You're welcome. A number of people have asked about changing the colors of the fonts. I'd like it too. Thanks for the work around, I'll give it a try.
Unfortunately you can't change the font color or size in a email.
Your work around worked great. I think I'll save different color fonts in Notes to have them handy. Thanks again for the tip.
Forget about copying colors to Notes. It only seems to work with emails.
