Topics are prepared in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/cheat-sheet/). This standard does not implement coloured text like HTML.

You could try [Discourse BBCode Color](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-bbcode-color/65363) or [Awesome BBCodes Plugin: multi-paragraph, nestable, with auto-complete](https://meta.discourse.org/t/awesome-bbcodes-plugin-multi-paragraph-nestable-with-auto-complete/28104)

(though I’ve not tried them myself)
