Avoiding coloured pixels in text

Hello
When I add text to a graph, text color is not perfect. For example, if it's blue, when you zoom it there are small orange pixels.
How can I avoid this or change this colormap?
Thanks

That's the typical behaviour of antialising and is performed so that the edges of the text appear smooth. Why is this a problem anyway?
I need it smoothed in monochrome because another program will use them and it's color based and it gets crazy.

Chnage the color of Text, there are multiple features to change the color of the text
RGB = insertText(I,position,text_str,'FontSize',18,'BoxColor',box_color,'BoxOpacity',0.4,'TextColor','white');

Thanks, but the problem is the same, when you zoom the image the colormap used for the text is full of pastel colors and, even if you are using the "blue" color, zooming to a pixel level shows it. I need to change the colorpam used for dithering the text.
If you could share the figure, it may help to illustrates easily.

Sure. As you can see, when you zoom it it's like a disco.
text(0.02 , 0.5 , 'E.On: Electric Water'] , 'FontSize', 8, 'FontWeight','bold','FontName','Century Gothic', 'Color',double([20 35 124])/255);

What makes you think it's MATLAB doing it instead of the operating system or your video adapter?

Probably is has something to do with the operating system, but since there are programs that do that like Matlab and R and programs that don't do that, like Excel, there must be a way to solve it.
