</ul>
Step 2) Add CSS:
By default, it is not possible to change the bullet color of a list item. However, you can do some CSS tricks to make it possible. Note that you might have to tweak it a bit differently if you're using a CSS framework or a special stylesheet:
Example
ul {
list-style: none; /* Remove default bullets */
}
ul li::before {
content: "\2022"; /* Add content: \2022 is the CSS Code/unicode for a
bullet */
color: red; /* Change the color */
font-weight:
bold; /* If you want it to be bold */
display: inline-block; /*
Needed to add space between the bullet and the text */
width: 1em;
/* Also needed for space (tweak if needed) */
margin-left: -1em; /*
Also needed for space (tweak if needed) */
}
