Hi Jenny Tan2,

Thank you for reaching out. To set a font color in Microsoft Word to 90% black (a slightly lighter shade of black), you can try RGB(26, 26, 26). It's close (an exact value would be 25.6 for each number, but Word can't do fractions). You'll find it's generally indistinguishable from 100% black. Here are steps.

Select the Text: Highlight the text you want to modify.
Open Font Color Options: On the Home tab, in the Font group, click the drop-down arrow next to the Font Color icon.
Choose More Colors: Select More Colors from the drop-down menu.
Go to the Custom Tab: In the Color Picker dialog box, switch to the Custom tab.
Set RGB Values:

Adjust the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values to 90% black. You can use:
- R: 26
- G: 26
- B: 26

This will give you a slightly lighter black that corresponds to 90% intensity.

If this resolves your query, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to vote on the helpfulness of this response. Let me know if you have further questions or need additional assistance!
