Unity UI Text not changing color

I don't know if using <color=> is deprecated or something since in previous projects this has worked but it simply isn't working with my UI text

Code (CSharp):

1. Text RoomNameText;
2. public void SetRoomNameText (string name, string map, int players, int maxPlayers)
3.     {
4.         RoomNameText.text = "Transmission: <color=yellow>" + RoomName + "</color>, received from: <color=yellow>" + map + "</color>, units responding: <color=yellow>" + players + "</color>/<color=yellow>" + maxPlayers + "</color";
5.     }

which returns that string exactly with no formatting whatsoever.


EDIT:
I tried setting the text to just be "<color=yellow>" + map + "</color>" which still didn't work

 

Use TextMesh Pro instead. It's much better and already integrated into Unity.
If you're on 2017+ use Package Manager, otherwise you can find it on the Asset Store page.

Also, for the default text component - make sure that Rich Text is enabled on it.

 

Thanks, I finally know what "Rich Text" does lol
