https://help.libreoffice.org/7.4/en-US/text/shared/01/05020200.html "Font Color" section has four bullet points. Last three bullet points appear to be incorrect, in which case, they should be removed.
Please write more detail about what bullet points you say
The following 3 bullet points describe the icon for Formatting bar, but this is not relevant for the Font effects tab of the Character dialog. If you click the Font Color icon before you select text, the paint can cursor appears. To change the color of text, select the text with the paint can cursor. To change the color of a single word, double-click in a word. To apply a different color, click the arrow next to the Font Color icon, and then select the color that you want to use. To undo the last change, right-click. To exit the paint can mode, click once, or press the Esc key.
