Thanks - problem solved!!!

black is fill (0, 0, 0); OR fill (0);

3

Yes, but in this case it makes the whole rectangle fill black, I want the rectangle colour to be different from text colour

4

I know

you have to say

fill ..... // set the color you want to have for the rect 
rect......
fill(0);  // black 
text.......

for both situations, red light and green light…

You introduced another problem by removing the code from your post and changing topic title.

boolean changeColour;

void setup() {
changeColour = false;
textSize (46);
size (240, 300);
}

void draw() {
rect (40, 40, 160, 200);
stroke (1);
if (changeColour) {
fill (0,200,0);
text(“Walk”, 70, 150);
}
else

{ fill (200,0, 0);
text(“Stop”, 70, 150);
}
}
void mousePressed()
{
changeColour = !changeColour;
}

How do I make the text black so you can actually see it?
