I would like to know if there is any way to get certain words or terms to be displayed, each one, with a specific color (not just highlight ==). Could it be done with CSS?

Thanks for your quick response!  
I was looking for something that would allow that, every time I write a certain word, a specific format I have previously configured (like a text color) is applied to it automatically.

the only way I know how to do that is with a text expander like espanso – which would basically relace WORD with _bluehighlightcsscode_WORD_endbluehighlighttag_, which is probably not what you want.

See if this fit your needs:  
`<p style="color:red">YOUR TEXT HERE </p>`  
You can also change the ‘red’ word with hex code
