Thanks for reminding me about color blind people and the link to the colors.
Since I am interested in "Highlight text" (text with a background color), I should really be using the CSS background-color property.

CSS is great for instant reward. I use the O'Reilly CSS The definitive guide. Again and again and again. p.emphasis { font-weight: bold; color: yellow; } As each property is added, finish it with the semi-colon.
