Thanks for the reminder. The alternative method Format > Character, select color, etc. gives the same result as my usual method: Click on the underscored "A" at the right of the format toolbar, choose color, etc.: The chosen color does not show up in the .odt file; but the colors are rendered properly in an exported .pdf.
