How to change the Bitmap text color?   
 

this.text = new PIXI.BitmapText('example', {font: "16px nbp", align: "left"});

We need to use any filters? Or use a mask?

you can tint BitmapText the same way as sprite :

this.text.tint = 0x223344;

Tint is so processor intensive, that I got from 3 tinted bitmap texts 40 fps loss...... that is phaser 2.4.7

@Igor Georgiev Then you have to pre-tint bitmap font itself.

You could also change the color of the style. text.style.fill = 0xFF0000; and then update the text text.updateText();

Sorry for the late reply, but it does not work this way. Throws 'fill' of undefined, and updateText is private member - not accessible. The text appears by the way, no problem, but cannot get color. Are you sure that your method works on bitmap text and not on regular one?

Ah, sorry, I was thinking of normal text. Bitmap text doesnt have style options.

nice, no worries, @rich says that for the moment, we should use multiple bitmap text atlases
