Formatting text

I was just wondering if there is a way to change the colour of text -- I did a trick back on wordpress with my original No Man an Island site, where I hid some of the text in a chapter by colouring it white, and leaving the rest normal. People had to highlight the whole chapter to read the mystery words. I haven't posted that chapter on digitalnovelists because I don't know if I can do something similar.

Yeah, that lets me choose the general text colour. But for the whole site, which means that, if I changed the text for one chapter, it would change it for all of them. I basically want to use two colours within one chapter, so some of the text is hidden and some of it is showing. I don't think that's possible though?
