After I creating an EER diagram from an existing database I am unable to read the table names in the diagram due to the table header and the tablename text both being black. I'm not sure why this is as it wasn't this way last time I used it. Does anyone know if there is a way of changing the colors used in the diagram? I've hunted through all the menus but nothing is obvious. any pointers much appreciated, thanks

From the MySQL Workbench 5.2 window, select Database -> Synchronize model which will allow you to synchronize the model (EER diagram) with the database (you need to create a saved connection) for it.
Tables can also be added to an EER Diagram using the table tool on the vertical toolbar. Make sure that the EER Diagram tab is selected, then right-click the table icon on the vertical toolbar. The table icon is the rectangular tabular icon. Clicking the mouse on this icon changes the mouse pointer to a table pointer.
Red colored: (Part of) Foreign key. Blue lined Diamond: Simple attribute (no key) Can be combined for example: is a Red colored Key so it's a Primary Key which is also a Foreign Key. is a Yellow (non Red) Key so it's only a Primary Key.
Click on the table you want to change the color. Then on the left side, under the properties editor section you have a tab named Properties (tabs are positioned at the bottom of that area). Click on it and the first property you can modify is the color. The value should be entered in hexa :)
