I want certain elements to be a different color but i can't seem to change the outside elements color.

I want the main font color white and elements (drop shadow) need to be yellow like my sample below. I cant figure it out! Any help would be appreciated!

Here is one way.

Open a new document.
Set your background color (Off White).

Select your Type Tool.
Type out the text in the color white.

Select your Magic Wand Tool. Set sample size to "Point Sample" and your tolerance to 200. Tick the "anti-alias" and "contiguous" boxes.
Zoom in to your text.
Hold down the shift key and select all of the drop shadow elements of the text.
It should look like this....

Magic Wand Tool setting. Make sure you have anti-alias ticked.
