The foregroundStyle(_:) modifier (preferred since iOS 15) supports solid colors, gradients, and hierarchical styles, and can even style inline text fragments. AttributedString allows dynamic, per-range color styling but is limited to solid colors. The tint(_:) modifier (iOS 16) targets controls and links rather than plain text. For advanced effects, the textRenderer(_:) API (iOS 18) enables fully custom per-glyph rendering, such as hue rotation across characters.
