How to apply color in Markdown?

Question

I want to use Markdown to store textual information. But quick googling says Markdown does not support color. Also StackOverflow does not support color. Same as in case of G

Answer 1

I have started using Markdown to post some of my documents to an internal web site for in-house users. It is an easy way to have a document shared but not able to be edited by the viewer.

So, this marking of text in color is “Great”. I have use several like this and works wonderful.

some *This is Blue italic.* text

Turns into This is Blue italic.

And

some **This is Red Bold.** text

Turns into This is Red Bold.

I love the flexibility and ease of use.
