Question

How can I change the color of an adforn ornament ?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{adforn}
\begin{document}
    \adforn{21}
\end{document}

Answer 1

adforn provides its ornaments as a font, so you can change the colors like with any other font. See the xcolor documentation for the various ways of using and defining colors.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{adforn}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\begin{document}
\textcolor{blue}{\adforn{21}}
\end{document}

Answer 2

Here are two ways.

Unrelated : unless your distribution is quite old, loading inputenc is not necessary any more: utf8 is what latex expects by default.

        \documentclass{article}
        \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
        \usepackage{adforn}
        \usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}

        \begin{document}

         \centering {\color{VioletRed}\adforn{21}}\qquad \textcolor{DarkSeaGreen}{\adforn{21}}

        \end{document}
