You can’t change words color with Discourse unless you use a plugin.

I think you meant “upload image”, so I believe you should first make an API request to upload your file, then retrieve its URL and use it in your next POST request: [Discourse API Docs](https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Upload)  
Not 100% sure though, I’ve never done this.
