I've thought briefly about the following syntax

 [color[red] text to be colored red]

- this would be extensible, e.g.

  [background[yellow] highlighted text]

  could export to the following html

  <span "style=background:yellow;">highlighted text</span>

- this would avoid "{}"s

- this would look more "org-like" than the pure latex solution

the only issue with the above is that it may conflate a new /markup/
syntax with org-mode's existing /link/ syntax.

Thoughts? -- Eric
