Now i use like this

```nohighlight
<font color='BlueViolet'>color text</font>

```

to change md content color, but use `hugo --buildDrafts`，it generate html doesn’t show colored text,its still black. What is the correct markdown format to render text color？

thx very much ！

The font tag is no longer valid in HTML 5.

In any case we do not provide support for these kind of questions in this forum.

Search StackOverflow or CSS-Tricks for ways to style text color in HTML.

Also please have a look at the forum [Requesting Help](https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132) guidelines.
