Font Color

shortcut key to change font color?
 
Is there a way to change font color without having to use the mouse?
What is the quickest way?

One way...

ctrl-1 (ctrl-one) will bring up the Format|Cells menu
One of the tabs will be selected.
You can get to the Font tab by hitting the F key.

Then you can hit alt-c to select the font color drop down.
You can use the arrow keys to select the color you want

Tab to the Ok key and hit enter.

You can also drag the font color palette off of the toolbar and place
it adjacent to where you are working. Makes it pretty easy to use that way.

And just to add to Jim's response...

If you've just changed a font color and want to do it again, you can hit
edit|repeat format cells (or ctrl-y or F4)
