**Legend** `PROPS.legend.labels.font.color` You were close! **Line color** `PROPS.series.X.line.appearance.stroke.color` where ‘X’ is the series number. ---

It’s there at the bottom of your JSON. You have `labels.font.color` set to black. Tip: You need to hit the _Reply_ button under my post if you want me to get notification of your post. Alternately use the `@username` syntax if you use the general reply button. ---

> yes i have set the color of the text to black. It was difficult to see what the color was before you started due to the yellow highlight. If the question is answered to your satisfaction then please hit the "Solved" button on the post that gave you the information. If not, then please clarify what problems are remaining. ---

OK. Read your original question again to see where the confusion arose. `PROPS.series.X.label.text` where ‘X’ is the series number. ---
