Hi oned_gk,

There is a problem somewhere else in your code. The Color class is in the same namespace as the FontFactory class, so they both should resolve or neither of them should. Do you have

using iTextSharp.text;

at the top of the file? If yes, can you show more of your code?

No - that seems about right. As I said, the problem must be somewhere else in your code.
