What you can't do, however, is change the default color that *Word*
applies if you click the Font Color button on the Home tab.

In other words, you will have to click the arrow (so that the drop down menu
displays) and then pick the color you want.

Obviously, modifying the document defaults (or a style) will be a lot
easier.
