I want to highlight certain text parts in the sticky notes and template elements of confluence whiteboard with a different color

How is this basic feature possible ? 

It seems like changing the textcolor is only possible for explicit text elements, but as soon as you type something into a sticky note a f.e a UML element, you cannot change the text color anymore. The only thing that can get changed is the background color of the stickynote or the element.

Am I missing something here?

Hi @Thomas Oberlechner 

Welcome to the community.

You are not missing anything, this is not possible.

There are multiple open requests around colouring options in relation to Confluence whiteboards on the public jira (https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa ).

You could vote and follow any of these.
