title: How to change text/font color in reportlab.pdfgen
body: <p>I want to use a different color of text in my auto-generated PDF.</p>
  
  <p>According to <a href="http://www.reportlab.com/software/opensource/rl-toolkit/faq/#2.1.4" rel="noreferrer">the reportlab docs</a> all I need to do is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>self.canvas.setFillColorRGB(255,0,0)
  self.canvas.drawCentredString(...)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But that doesn't do anything. The text is black no matter what.</p>
