You can change text colour with the <font> HTML tag.

e.g: <font color="red">ALERT!!!</font>
gets rendered as: ALERT!!!

W3C has defined the 16 "color words" that should render on W3C compliant browsers:

  • Aqua <font color="aqua">aqua</font>
  • Black <font color="black">Black</font>
  • Blue <font color="blue">Blue</font>
  • Fuchsia <font color="fuchsia">Fuchsia</font>
  • Gray <font color="gray">Gray</font>
  • Green <font color="green">Green</font>
  • Lime <font color="lime">Lime</font>
  • Maroon <font color="maroon">Maroon</font>
  • Navy <font color="navy">Navy</font>
  • Olive <font color="olive">Olive</font>
  • Purple <font color="purple">Purple</font>
  • Red <font color="red">Red</font>
  • Silver <font color="silver">Silver</font>
  • Teal <font color="teal">Teal</font>
  • White <font color="white">White</font>
  • Yellow <font color="yellow">Yellow</font>

N.B: Be careful using blue because it can be mistaken for a link, particularly when underlined.

White type can be used to hide text from view in the "published" mode, but allow it to be seen in edit mode. Click "edit" to see the secret messages below:
