title: How can I change the font color inside shape with python-pptx?
body: <p>I am trying to create a few shapes using <code>python-pptx</code> module in Python.</p>
  
  <p>I have got the shapes created however I am unable to edit the font color for the text inside shape. By default it displays in white color. I am trying to see how could I change the text color. Given below is what I have built thus far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>left = Inches(1.0)
  top = Inches(3.9)
  width = Inches(1.2)
  height = Inches(2.5)
  shape = shapes.add_shape(
  MSO_SHAPE.RECTANGLE, left, top, width, height
  )
  fill = shape.fill
  fill.solid()
  fill.fore_color.rgb = RGBColor(226, 206, 72)  # This RGB code is the background color that I want the shape to be in 
  fill.fore_color.brightness = -0.3
  text_frame = shape.text_frame
  text_frame.clear()
  p = text_frame.paragraphs[0]
  run = p.add_run()
  run.text = 'Test message'
  font = run.font
  font.name = 'Arial'
  font.size = Pt(16)
  font.bold = True
  </code></pre>
