 ## Solution
 
-To set the text color in a cell, use the `FillColor` property of `GraphicProperties`. This property determines the color used for rendering content elements of a block. To apply the change only to specific text, use the `SaveGraphicProperties()` and `RestoreGraphicProperties()` methods. These methods allow you to apply a temporary change and revert to the previous settings.

-Follow the steps below:
-
-1. Create a new `RadFixedDocument` and add a page.
-2. Initialize a `FixedContentEditor` for the page.
-3. Create a `Block` and call `SaveGraphicProperties()` to save the current settings.
-4. Assign a color to `GraphicProperties.FillColor`.
-5. Insert the text that needs the custom color.
-6. Call `RestoreGraphicProperties()` to revert to the previous settings.
-7. Continue adding text or elements to the block.
-8. Export the document using `PdfFormatProvider`.
