How come I can't chagne the color with which I render the text, but everything else changes color? Here's my code: GLUT glut = new GLUT(); int font = GLUT.BITMAP_HELVETICA_18; gl.glColor3f(0,1,1); gl.glRasterPos3f(10, 20, 0); glut.glutBitmapString(gl, font, "Text"); The text is black in the upper left corner but everything else get a greenish layer on top. What am I doing wrong?? Thanx

Well, just a guess, but perhaps you have texturing enabled when you render the text?

That means the whole text will be textured using whatever texture coordinate was set before the call to glRasterPos. Try disabling texturing before rendering the bitmap text :)
