Explanation

color is the correct CSS property for setting text color - for example, color: red; or color: #ff0000; applied to any element changes its foreground text. The other options are invented properties that do not exist in CSS: font-color sounds plausible but CSS uses font-* properties only for typography attributes like size, weight, and family, not color. text-color and text-style are similarly non-existent - CSS does have text-decoration and text-transform, but no text-color or text-style. A handy memory tip: think of color as the "pen color" - it's the one property that directly controls what color the ink (text) appears in, kept deliberately short because it's one of the most frequently used properties in CSS.
