+## Description
+
+I want to set the text color in a cell but cannot find an option for this in `TextProperties`. The only visible option is `HighlightColor`. 
+
+This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:
+- How to change the text color in PdfProcessing cells?
+- How to use FillColor to set cell text color in Telerik Document Processing?
+- What is the method to apply custom text color in RadPdfProcessing blocks?
+
+## 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`.
+
+### Example Code
+
+```csharp
+RadFixedDocument document = new RadFixedDocument();
+RadFixedPage page = document.Pages.AddPage();
+FixedContentEditor editor = new FixedContentEditor(page);
+
+// Create a block to add styled content
+Block infoBlock = new Block();
+
+// Save current graphic properties
+infoBlock.SaveGraphicProperties();
+
+// Set the FillColor for the text
+infoBlock.GraphicProperties.FillColor = new RgbColor(255, 10, 10);
+infoBlock.InsertText("Telerik Document Processing: ");
+
+// Restore previous graphic properties
+infoBlock.RestoreGraphicProperties();
+infoBlock.InsertLineBreak();
+infoBlock.InsertText("RadPdfProcessing");
+infoBlock.InsertLineBreak();
+
+// Position and draw the block
+editor.Position.Translate(100, 100);
+editor.DrawBlock(infoBlock);
+
+// Export the document
+string fileName = $"{Guid.NewGuid()}.pdf";
+File.Delete(fileName);
+PdfFormatProvider provider = new PdfFormatProvider();
+using Stream stream = File.OpenWrite(fileName);
+provider.Export(document, stream, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
+
+Process.Start(new ProcessStartInfo() { UseShellExecute = true, FileName = fileName });
+```
