Thanks for replying Diego.

The text of the book will not be exported into latex or any other
forward-type document. I need the coloured text purely for my own
interest and usage. When, and if, I do export it to latex, LibreOffice
doc or whatever, it will just have the standard coloured text of black
text on a white background. But I need different coloured texts in
org-mode to show me graphically where I added in new text to the book,
and at what stage of the drafting.

For instance - first draft is white text, second draft is lime-green,
third draft is light-blue, fourth draft is pale-red, etc.

So in the above instance I would have white text, lime-green text,
light-blue text, pale-red text, etc ... all in the same document.

Is that clearer?

Thanks
  Sharon.
