  • `<font color="red">Color this red.</font>` failed, probably because ["The <font> color attribute is not supported by HTML5"](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/html-font-color-attribute/).
  • I'm NOT asking about `<p style="color:red;">Red paragraph text</p>` because I want just some but NOT ALL text, in a sentence, coloured. I don't want the whole para. colored!

  • `<p style="color:red;">Red paragraph text</p>` _**worked**_. **But this code DOESN'T answer my question** — because I want just some but NOT ALL text, in a sentence, coloured. I don't want the whole para. colored!

How do I color, merely some but NOT all, text in a sentence in HTML5?
My company has an internal discussion forum that uses HTML and CSS. I do not know if this is HTML4. 

`<font color="red">Color this red.</font>` didn't work, probably because ["The <font> color attribute is not supported by HTML5"](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/html-font-color-attribute/). 

I am NOT asking about `<p style="color:red;">Red paragraph text</p>` because I want just some but NOT ALL text, in a sentence, coloured. I don't want the whole para. colored!
