Note that Button:SetTextColor was deleted in 3.0, but FontInstance:SetTextColor remains. To set the button text color, you need to set the button font object, then get a copy of it, then modify the color of the new object and then assign the copy back to the button. For example:

button:SetNormalFontObject("GameFontHighlight");
local font = button:GetNormalFontObject();
font:SetTextColor(1, 0.5, 0.25, 1.0);
button:SetNormalFontObject(font);
