Dingbat fonts, like regular fonts, have no color. They are generally created in black or other solid colors. With or without other manipulations you can add color to change the look of the dingbat.

Changing the overall color is usually the easiet. But for greater interest, use a variety of colors. This will generally require the use of selection masks and other graphic techniques.
