I'm having trouble changing the sections's colors. They all have the same environment rSection defined below :

newenvironment{rSection}[1]{ 

  sectionskip

  MakeUppercase{bf #1} % Section title

  sectionlineskip

  hrule % Horizontal line

  begin{list}{}{ 

    setlength{leftmargin}{1.5em}

  }

  item

}{

  end{list}

}

But if I manage to set a specific color for this section, every sections will have the same color.. I tried

begin{rSection}{protecttextcolor{ForestGreen} Education}

but xcolor doesn't recognize this color but it does for basic text within the section..
How can I solve this ?

Because you gave us no compilable code I can only guess what the commands sectionskip and sectionlineskip should do. I simply commented them in the following code.

You can define a second parameter carrying the color name for environment rSection like

newenvironment{rSection}[2]{% 

% sectionskip

  color{#2}MakeUppercase{bf #1} % Section title

% sectionlineskip

  hrule % Horizontal line

  begin{list}{}{ 

    setlength{leftmargin}{1.5em}

  }

  item

}{

  end{list}

}

then you can use

begin{rSection}{Education}{ForestGreen}

to get the green color.

Please see the following compilable code:

documentclass{article}



usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}



newenvironment{rSection}[2]{% 

% sectionskip

  color{#2}MakeUppercase{bf #1} % Section title

% sectionlineskip

  hrule % Horizontal line

  begin{list}{}{ 

    setlength{leftmargin}{1.5em}

  }

  item

}{

  end{list}

}





begin{document}



begin{rSection}{Education}{ForestGreen}

Text Text Text

end{rSection}



begin{rSection}{Education}{red}

Text Text Text

end{rSection}



end{document}

and its result:

If your used class already defined the environment rSection simply create a new one myrSection in your preamble of your document with

newenvironment{myrSection}[2]{% 

  sectionskip

  color{#2}MakeUppercase{bfseries #1} % Section title

  sectionlineskip

  hrule % Horizontal line

  begin{list}{}{ 

    setlength{leftmargin}{1.5em}

  }

  item

}{

  end{list}

}

and use it this way in your document:

begin{myrSection}{Education}{ForestGreen}

Text Text Text

end{myrSection}
