I want to put colored text onto my readme/index.md file but I can't find any way online to do it so it works properly, is it possible, and if so how?

Note: I know there is another similar post but it's a very old post and I tried some of those methods they put, but all of them resulted in either it not working properly or working but with extra things showing such as the + sign etc

GitHub enabled recently README for user profiles; which lead to a lot of examples

None of those examples includes colored text!
So as I mentioned in 2014, this is still not yet for supported by GFM directly.

  • Can you link to any specific example with colored text? I don't see any (other than links and emojis). Also your 2014 answer links to the latest Adam-P Markdown cheatsheet, which does not mention color. – coolaj86 Aug 28 '20 at 07:37
  • @coolaj86 "Can you link to any specific example with colored text": no, I am afraid I cannot. My answer above is to describe I did not find any example with colors. – VonC Aug 28 '20 at 07:39
  • Ah, I see `Note of those ` is a typo for `NONE of those`. – coolaj86 Aug 28 '20 at 07:40

    @coolaj86 Thank you. I have edited the answer accordingly. – VonC Aug 28 '20 at 07:41
  • Also: I think by `this is still for` you meant `this is not yet`. Or is only supported in external GFM? – coolaj86 Aug 28 '20 at 07:41

    @coolaj86 That should be clearer indeed. Edited. – VonC Aug 28 '20 at 07:42
