The color can be changed via the text tool.

When I need to do things to a text layer that the text tool doesn't
understand, I make a copy of the layer when it is still a text layer.

Worse for me is that I cannot get rid of a large brush or any of the
transform tools or the pesky blend tool (all whose touch on an image is
cumbersome if not intended) quickly by touching the ruler and engaging the
move tool.  Downright inconvenient compared to older GIMP.
