How to change the label color in chart.js?

Question

I have a pie chart defined like so,

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
        type: 'doughnut',
        data: {
            labels: data.labels,
            datasets: [{
                data: data.values,
                backgroundColor: [
                'rgb(255, 99, 132)',
                'rgb(54, 162, 235)',
                'rgb(255, 206, 86)',
                'rgb(75, 192, 192)',
                'rgb(153, 102, 255)',
                'rgb(255, 159, 64)',
                'rgb(204, 255, 64)',
                'rgb(64, 159, 255)',
                'rgb(175, 64, 255)'
                ],
                options: {
                    responsive : true,
                }
            }],
            fontColor : '#FFFFFF'

        }
    });

how the chart looks,

This however is setting the font color of the labels to black, how can I change this color. Any pointers on this is highly appreciated. Thanks!

You can change the font color of legend­'s label, in the following way ...

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