Answer 1

The following answer explains why you can't change the color of Emoji characters. The glyphs are essentially images.

If you want to be able to use a heart symbol that you can color, try using one of the non-Emoji heart characters like ♥︎.

Or ensure the label's font isn't using the Apple Color Emoji font.
