This is a pretty simple task. Which courses have you taken so far?

But here's one simple example:

document.write("<h1 style='color:red'>Sample Text</h1>");

Thanks! I've taken JavaScript Basic, DOM courses (also HTML, CSS, C#). Was a little bit confused and got some errors in compiler, couldn't figure them out. A lot of information is given in those courses, sometimes it is hard to memorize it all and to use it exactly when I need. So I practice :)

You could use innerHTML() to place an element with a class that sets the color of the element to red.

document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerHTML = '<p class="red">Test</p>';

.red {
    color: red;
}
