Modify font color and family

Sorry.

If you try to modify the color of the text in a cascade select from the first option y gives you an error message:

OK, could you give a clear picture of what you wish to change the colour of. Could you also share a screenshot of what is not working (and provide a picture of what you wish to see instead) so that we should be able to understand your issue pictorially.

When you import the xlsform I still get the formatting text inside the option:
