You can change the font color of legend­‘s label, in the following way …

options: {
   legend: {
      labels: {
         fontColor: 'white'
      }
   },
   ...
}

var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
   type: 'doughnut',
   data: {
      labels: ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E'],
      datasets: [{
         data: [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
         backgroundColor: [
            'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
            'rgb(54, 162, 235)',

To change label color with Chart.js, you must set the fontColor.

to set the fontColor of the labels by setting the fontColor in the options object property.

for example;

    fontColor: "white", // set color

The only solution i found to work for this problem is the following line

Chart.defaults.color = '#fff';

Hope it helps

Sorry to unbury this but trying any solutions and only this works. create plugin before chart :

Chart.plugins.register({
    beforeDraw: function(c) {
        c.legend.options.labels.fontColor = 'hsl(0,0%,85%)';
    }
});
var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
....
