I don't think it is possible; the jupyter markdown defines the triple quote followed by a language name as the "syntax highlighting markup".

It is not exactly what you want, but there are two ways to color text in a md cell:

${\text{inline code :}}\color{red}{\text{ np.array}}{\text{ but no cigar}}$

Using HTML:

inline code: <span style="color:red">np.array</span> but no cigar.

which respectively render like this:
