AddLabel Labels & Text Color In ThinkOrSwim

[TOSUser21]

When I use the AddLabel ChartLabels function to add a text box in the top left corner of the chart when certain conditions are met, the text color inside the Label is white and is difficult to read with the chart's white background. Is there a way to change the color of the text inside the Label? When I use similar code for Bubbles, the text inside the bubbles defaults to Black. Here is an example of the code that I am trying to change: AddLabel(ChartLabels == 1 and Label and Test, “Positive”, Color.YELLOW).

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

The label text will always be black for dark mode and white for light mode. Don't think there's anyway around that. Best option is to pick background colors that work best with a white font (darker colors). Keep in mind you can create whatever colors you like using the CreateColor functions:

CreateColor ( double red, double green, double blue);

You can use a site such as https://image-color.com/color-picker to find the RGB values to plug in.

I am 100% clueless about this stuff over here

Can someone please advice on how to change this font to black. I've tried everything I can to search for threads with same question but I can't find anything. I even tried doing it my self by editing source but again, I have no idea how ToS scripts work. Thank you in advance for the help!

As you can see the font inside these boxes are greyish and hard to see. I'd like to change it to black. They are on my main chart.

I can't find anything within the code to change the actual font color.


Thank you for your help.

On the ToS platform, the text (font) color inside chart labels and chart bubbles cannot be changed.
Changing the background color of the Labels can provide greater contrast for better readability.

To change the LABEL color
Look for statements in your script that begin with ADDLABEL.

Dark mode members tend to prefer brighter hues.

ToS Color constants available:
https://tlc.thinkorswim.com/center/reference/thinkScript/Constants/Color
You can use any of the colors in the reference above or create custom colors

I can't find anything within the code to change the actual font color.

The ToS platform does not provide the ability to change the FONT color.
The only workaround was to change the BACKGROUND of the LABEL color to a bright hue.
As a dark mode user, You would never change your label background to: Color.Black, as you saw that will black out your label.
Try the opposite: Color.White

Serendipity that you posted this today. I've not worked on thinkscript for a while. So today I had the idea that I wanted to create a chart label for relative volume that changes colors based on how high the relative volume is. I have something similar in a watchlist column. Are you saying this is not possible with chart labels? TIA

Yes, if you can use the logic from your watchlist to setup chart labels. The ADDLABEL() function controls the BACKGROUND colors of LABELS on your chart.
No, you cannot change the font color inside the chart label.
