You have the color option within the editor. Place your text then look at the button with the letter A on it, click that and you can change the font color. If you want to highlight, use the highlight button to the right of the other button.

Unfortunately We don't have a A button  ?  go figure

Does your editor look like this? Click on the image below. if it does not look like that post a screen shot of it for us to see. Or click on the arrow on the left side of the editor. Your editor may be a different format since you are using the newer themes and server, but look for buttons that are similar to the ones in the picture.

Good morning Michael,  at about 3:30 this morning, I woke thinking about the home page and had to bring up the computer to check it out.
Somewhere as we started this endeavor, I was directed to "Site information" and was under the impression that this was whereto place our home page information....that is where you don't have the options of colors etc.. 
Obviously I misunderstood. 
I retyped in the home page under "home" and of course now have the full editor available which was comfirmed when I saw your reply.
Now I just have to remember why I was in "site information"
Thanks for your tips and help - greatly appreciated.

Site info is where you can place your slogan and mission, use them to get your keywords in your content. You also will use it for your default home page URL path. Make sure the Home page URL path matches the one in the site info.
