Quick Scoop

To change font color in a Roblox “Neighbors” text setup, the most common method is to use Rich Text with a <font color="..."> tag on the text label or message content.

How it works

  • Turn on Rich Text for the text object.
  • Wrap the part of the text you want colored in a font tag.
  • Use a hex color like #FF005D or an RGB-style color depending on the system you are editing.

Example:

lua

TextLabel.RichText = true
TextLabel.Text = '<font color="#FF005D">Hello</font> normal text'

This makes “Hello” appear in the chosen color while the rest stays unchanged.

If you mean chat text

For custom chat messages, Roblox’s newer chat system uses client-side display formatting, and color changes are typically done with Rich Text in the message string rather than by changing the server message directly.

Example:

lua

channel:DisplaySystemMessage('<font color="#ffb429">My message</font>')

That approach is used for formatted system messages in TextChatService.

If you mean the game UI

If “Neighbors” is a UI element or profile-style text, the same idea usually applies: find the label, enable Rich Text, and apply a color tag to the text you want styled. Roblox’s font data type controls the font face itself, while color is handled separately through text formatting.

Useful note

A TikTok result also points people toward Bloxstrap for changing Roblox font appearance more broadly, but that is about the client font look, not just text color inside a game UI.

TL;DR

Use Rich Text and a <font color="..."> tag on the text you want to recolor. For chat/system messages, format the message string before displaying it.
