Change a block's data type (e.g. color to text to Boolean, etc.)

Many blocks contain default blocks to save time. For example, the includes a default white color block.

Suppose you want to set the text to a specific shade of red using the hex code: #FF0303. To do this:

1. Right-click on the color block and choose to text.
   
2. Enter the hex code into the block.
   
3. If you wanted to double check that you have entered the correct color, you could change the block back to a color data type using the same process.
   Note , you don’t need to do this for the text to set to the desired color; you could leave it as text, e.g. #FF0303.
