Markdown text color within a code block

I frequently need to paste a code section into a Markdown document and then I want to change some color in the text.

For example:

This is a code sample:
```
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}
```

How can I set the text string "Hello World!" to the color red? I wish to use it as a code block since I don't want to reformat it to Markdown style.

Another way is to use HTML.
If you want to apply colours independently of a computing language.

<div style="color:red; background:lightgrey">
<code>
I want to have this text in red on grey.
</code>
</div>

That gives me good results. I use it in Joplin.

You can't put color on it.

Try putting C like this:

```c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    printf("Hello World!\n");
    return 0;
}
```

It will make your text seems as code.
