Correct. Because I don't have any idea how. Do you? If yes, I'll take your suggestions. 

I DID look it up, but found that while helpful, markdown is NOT a complete replacement for HTML. That said, if you already know how to code in HTML, then you probably CAN color text. 

For now, if I need/want that. I would use a go around and simply make an image file of some kind. 

I have to do the same thing  to create emojis that don't exist. Technically, if I make it an image file, no matter how small, it's still not an emoji, but it appears to be one.

You can use images in much the same way to make/use different fonts and colors.

If you find anything- do let me know. I love a good shortcut!
