You can do this by adding style to the element
or a better way is to define a class just like the one in your code that is “red-text”
(That class can also be used)

<p class="red-text">Blaahh blaaah</p>

OR

<p style:"color:red">Blaahh blaaah </p>

I think this is correct and should do it

You can also use a CSS child selector for this kind of stuff:

p:first-child { 
    color: red;
}
