Thanks to Samcarter for suggesting [**Abiword**](http://www.abisource.com/help/en-US/index.html)!

It does quite more than just coloring text, but it's much lighter than Libreoffice (I only had to install two dependencies).

Files can be saved in various formats, such as Abiword, plain text, PDF, doc and Postscript.
