Rev's support of HTML/CSS is a very limited subset of the full range of text
styling/formatting.  To produce colorized text, I believe you need to use
the font tag.

<p>This is <font color="#00FF00">green text</font>.</p>

Or you could use RevBrowser to display fully formatted HTML/CSS (does
RevBrowser work in MetaCard?).
