Notepad++ change text color?
A little late reply, but what I found in Notepad++ v7.8.6 is, on RMB (Right Mouse Button), on selection text, it gives an option called "Style token" where it shows "Using 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th style" to highlight the selected text in different pre-defined colors
You can Change it from:
Menu Settings -> Style Configurator
See on screenshot:
