How to color text on github markdown?

Question

I am trying to color a block of text that should be included in an article in a git repository accessible to people. I am trying to color the word to bring the desired effect. Is there a way to use css styles for colored text since github no longer supports styles?

I am currently using the code below, which does not work on github. Help is appreciated.

<center> <h1>2014, The year of <span style="color:red">Red</span></h1> </center> 

Answer 1

There is no such feature available right now. An alternative could be coloring in blue using the links:

 # 2014, The year of [Blue](#) 

This will produce the following output:

If you really want to have a different color, another alternative is to use an image ( like this one for example).

Then you can enable it as shown below:
