Created attachment 171685 [details] Screenshot with LibreOffice Dark color scheme Via Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors: Text (under Spreadsheet) it is possible to change the appearance of text in case of value highlighting. This works for ordinary cells but not if the cell content has multiple lines. Without value highlighting the font color is set via General > Font Color. And that works for all kind of cells. The example uses LibreOffice Dark color scheme (see bug 142116); the cursor points to the cell with "Hello \n World" in black while A1 and B1 adopt the defined color.
Created attachment 173873 [details] test ODS with different text return types Heiko, I tried in 7.0.6, 7.2 RC1 and 7.3 alpha0+ (on Ubuntu 18.04), and I couldn't even change the text colour for any cell. In "Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Application Colors", starting from the default colour scheme, I change the value for "Spreadsheet > Text", clicked Apply or OK: no change whatsoever. If I change the scheme to Dark, the text colour does change to whatever the scheme defines, but changing the Text colour again does not work either.

Which version were you using, Heiko?
(In reply to stragu from comment #1) > Which version were you using, Heiko? You have to enable View > Value Highlighting to get numbers in blue and text in black. This black font color is hard-coded (not the blue) and should follow what's defined in General > Font Color (like it's the fact when "Value Highlighting" is off).
