Hi Sharon,
I understand - you want something like a "change tracking mode". I do not
really know if you can manually set custom faces on the text of a buffer
(you probably can, but I don't know how).
If you use git for version control, I found diff-hl mode (
https://github.com/dgutov/diff-hl), which highlights the changes since the
last committed version. Maybe this helps? For example:
