You have a couple of possibilities. First of all, you can use images, or Flash Animations or some other external product. This may help to ensure you have the exact font you need.

If you want just plain text, you have two options: the HTML tag, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). The tag is deprecated and is considered bad practice if you use it. Use it like this (or actually, since it's bad practice, don't use it like this ;) ):

[red]I am in a red font

The alternative is CSS. You can use style information on all kinds of HTML elements, like a <a> tag, a <td> tag, and so on. If you have just plain text, wrap the text inside a <span> tag, and apply the style info like this:

<span style="color: #FF0000;">I am also in a red font</span>

This use of CSS is the way to go. Almost all browser support it, and since it's part of the CSS standard, it will continue to work in the future.

Everyone is unique, except for me.

You can also use named colours as opposed to hexadecimal, the names cover a wide range and the standard ones are available on the web. These are like "red", "blue", "goldenrod" etc.
