Changing Font Color in HTML Email for AOL Mail

EDIT: I should mention that the layout was done with tables. I've even tried styling the parent <td> element to get the desired appearance. Still, no bananas.



How do you change the font color of text in an HTML email in AOL's client?



I've tried the following code:



<td>
<span style="color:#FFFFFF;">My Text</span>
</td>


After some suggestions from the community, I've also tried the following approach:



<td>
<font color="white">My Text</font>
</td>


Unfortunately, the text color doesn't change at all. In fact, when viewing the computed styles in Firebug, it doesn't show any color being applied to the element.



I'd expect this to work since all other inline styles work fine and the email is rendered beautifully in every other major client.



Thanks in advance for your help.

  • You're telling me, man. I'm designing a mass email for my client at the moment, and I've got to make sure that it is going to render correctly across all of the major email clients. AOL qualifies as "major" apparently.

  • Yeah, using the MS Word engine to render HTML in Outlook was a horrible idea. I've been cursing Microsoft for quite some time for that little snafu.

Try using the <font> tag. This site doesn't list <span> as a supported tag.



<font color='#FFFFFF'>My Text</font>

  • Sorry guys, that doesn't seem to work. I've tried using the <font> tag inside the <td> element and the <span> element. Any other suggestions?
    – elucid8
    Sep 7 '12 at 20:39












  • @elucid8 What do you mean you are using the font tag on the td and span? You should replace the span with the font tag representation. AOL probably is replacing any tags it doesn't like.
    – scrappedcola
    Sep 7 '12 at 20:41










  • @scrappedcola That's exactly what I mean, I replaced the <span> element with <font> to no avail. Essentially, I've tried this: <td><span><font color="#FFFFFF">My Text</font></span></td> and <td><font color="#FFFFFF">My Text</font></td>. Neither approach is achieving the desired results.

    I used emailonacid.com to render all of this up, and it turns out that my styles were being stripped because it didn't like the way I was setting some attributes. I resolved the warnings it showed and viola, using the <font> tag worked liked a charm. Thank you gentlemen!

font tag is one option, but if possible in your layout, you might want to break out the text into a td and call something like <td style="color:#FFFFFF;">My Text</td>

  • I've got all of the elements wrapped in <td>, but I'm going to try the font tag. Thanks for the quick response.

  • font will work off course, but keep in mind that font is a deprecated html tag.

AOL provides a format icon. Click on that and use the eyedropper on the Format Banner to select color for your text.

    try <td><span style="color:#990011;">Text</span></td> (eg. uses some shade of red to stand out)

      <a style="text-decoration: none;" href="{$shareWithFriendsLink}">
      <span style="text-decoration: none; color: #ffffff;">
      htt<span></span>{$shareWithFriendsLink|substr:3} </span></a>



      Empty <span></span> prevent mail client for recognizing string as link.
      |substr:3 are in use for Smartys variables for cut off first 3 symbols (htt) added before manually.

        @scrappedcola That's exactly what I mean, I replaced the <span> element with <font> to no avail. Essentially, I've tried this: <td><span><font color="#FFFFFF">My Text</font></span></td> and <td><font color="#FFFFFF">My Text</font></td>. Neither approach is achieving the desired results.

        I used emailonacid.com to render all of this up, and it turns out that my styles were being stripped because it didn't like the way I was setting some attributes. I resolved the warnings it showed and viola, using the <font> tag worked liked a charm. Thank you gentlemen!

        font tag is one option, but if possible in your layout, you might want to break out the text into a td and call something like <td style="color:#FFFFFF;">My Text</td>

        AOL provides a format icon. Click on that and use the eyedropper on the Format Banner to select color for your text.
