OK, you'll need to put in some code, from what I can recall (unless you just want to change the message color) Anyway, here goes:

font.color(red,green,blue,alpha)

Red, Green, and Blue are all the total of that color, from 0 to 255. If they are all 255, it is white, but if they are all 0, it is black. Also, alpha is the transparency, where 0 is invisible and 255 is opaque.

Otherwise, for event messages, just type \C[n], where n is:

0 for white, 1 for blue, 2 for red, 3 for green, 4 for cyan, 5 for magenta, 6 for yellow, and 7 for a semi-dark gray.

Since you want black text, you'll probably have to do:

font.color(0,0,0,255)

To change the color that will be used when no other color is mentioned the line would be:

Font.default_color = Color.new(0, 0, 0) # Black

And that could be placed directly above main. When the last component, which is alpha, is 255 you can omit it.

That will change the default color for any text drawing where color is not mentioned. However this doesn't affect any default windows that are built into the game. These use the methods in Window_Base to determine the color used. You would need to override these methods for the sake of consistency. Insert an empty section above main and copy and paste the code below. Play around with the colors till you get the appropriate result.

  def text_color(n)
    case n
    when 0
      return Color.new(255, 255, 255, 255) # White
    when 1
      return Color.new(128, 128, 255, 255) # Blue
    when 2
      return Color.new(255, 128, 128, 255) # Red

      return Color.new(128, 255, 255, 255) # Cyan

      return Color.new(255, 128, 255, 255) # Magenta

      return Color.new(255, 255, 128, 255) # Yellow
    when 7
      return Color.new(192, 192, 192, 255) # Gray
    else
      normal_color
    end
  end
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

end
