Step 5: Add An Inner Shadow To The Text Using The 'Inner Glow' Layer Style If we were to turn off the layer styles, which we won't but if we did, the text would appear white once again. We've simply overlayed a new color onto it using the Color Overlay layer style. I should note that we haven't really changed the color of the text here, even though it's now appearing in a different color. The text now appears in the color you chose.
