Note that CSS is used for that now-a-days, putting it in HTML is considered bad form.

Using a style attribute in a [div] won't work either.

The Admins reduced the allowed HTML after the last hack of DU. I believe I have all the tags that work listed here:

If you really need something special, you could make an image and the post the picture - although that may produce varying results on mobile devices.

They seemed to have used a chainsaw to fix a problem requiring a scalpel.

Perhaps we need to start threads in more visible forums requesting a specific html tag be reinstated and ask people to K&R if they agree? Maybe they could create custom [size] and [color] tags for the forum.
