Font Color of Lyrics and Chord Symbols in Musescore 4

It appears that, in Musescore 4, the designers have, in the matter of font colors, gone with Henry Ford's formula for the Model T: that "you can have it in any color you want, as long as it's black". Am I missing some way of setting these colors? If not, can anyone say why this capability was retired? I used it a lot, and found it very helpful, in busy scores, for highlighting key parts for a particular singer or player.
