Hy! I have created a font. Perfect! But some Types are in 100% black and the other half is in rgb. But I don’t know why? Hope you can help me. Many thanks.

Hello, while searching, I couldn't find how to make my font change color in software like illustrator, photoshop or indesign for example. When I try to change its color it stays black anyway. Do you know why ? And how can I change that please? Thanks very much
