Change GUI.Box text color

Question

I am kind of new to Unity, and was just wondering how to change the text colour of a GUI.Box?

T$$anonymous$$s is the line of code I am using:

 GUI.Box(Rect(0, 0, width, height),"Hello World", "");

I tried putting:

 GUI.color = Color.red;

above it, but that didn't work.

Thanks, Fjpackard.

GUI.color doesn't work because there's not$$anonymous$$ng to tint when you set a style without a texture. You need to make a style with a background texture and it also lets you specify your font color.

I'd recommend backgroundColor so you can control your text colour.

 Awake() {
         tintableText = new GUIStyle(GUI.skin.box);
         tintableText.normal.background = Texture2D.w$$anonymous$$teTexture;
         tintableText.normal.textColor = Color.w$$anonymous$$te;
 }
 
 OnGUI() {
     var guicolor_backup = GUI.backgroundColor;
     GUI.backgroundColor = Color.yellow * Color.grey;
     GUILayout.Box("Hi", tintableText);
     GUI.backgroundColor = guicolor_backup;
 }
