Put your cursor on the footnote. Then do C-u C-x = In the resulting buffer, toward the end, you will see something like this. ,---- | There are text properties here: | face org-footnote | font-lock-fontified t | font-lock-multiline t | fontified t | help-echo "Footnote reference" | keymap [Show] | mouse-face highlight | org-category "test-new" | org-no-flyspell t `---- Click on the face property (which is `org-footnote'). Click on "customize this face" link. Change the face foreground color to whatever you want. Or A fast way to do that would be M-x customize-face RET org-footnote RET You can also try M-x customize-group RET org-faces RET --
