How to change color of text in a button

Question

How do you change the color of a text inside a button node?

I tried this:

btn.setStyle("-fx-text-fill: white");

But it only added color to the button.

@YCF_L How do I use setTextFill when I want a specific hex code for the color? — qwertyboi, Dec 16 '22 at 09:05
Can you try this please `btn.setTextFill(Color.web("#ff0000"));` — Youcef LAIDANI, Dec 16 '22 at 09:15

In JavaFX there are various ways to set the color of a button's text:

From hex:

private static Button createButton() {
    final Button button = new Button("red");
    button.setTextFill(Color.web("#ff0000"));
    return button;
}

With predefined colors:

private static Button createButton() {
    final Button button = new Button("red");
    button.setTextFill(Color.RED);
    return button;
}

From RGB values:

private static Button createButton() {
    final Button button = new Button("red");
    button.setTextFill(Color.rgb(255, 0, 0));
    return button;
}

From HSB values:

private static Button createButton() {
    final Button button = new Button("red");
    button.setTextFill(Color.hsb(0, 1, 1));
    return button;
}

From color where RGB is within a range of 0.0-1.0

private static Button createButton() {
    final Button button = new Button("red");
    button.setTextFill(Color.color(1, 0, 0));
    return button;
}

Pick whichever suits your needs
