Two ways: the common way and the right way. The common way is:
<font color="color">text</font>
The right way is:
<span style="color: colourname">text</span>

Whichever you use, note that you must put the end tag on (the one with a / in), even though it will work without it, otherwise you can screw threads up alot with cascading HTML errors. Also, you must close each tag you open separately, and in the opposite order to what they were opened. Same problems if you don't.

EDIT: Both of these only apply on Forums, or other media where you can't change any of the page other than your contribution. These will work on normal web pages, but there are far better ways to do it.
