How do I color only my word to an external page (twitter)?

For example: follow me AAA.

How would I color only the AAA?

Here's one solution:

index.html
<a href="https://www.twitter.com/yourusername" class="twitter-link">AAA</a>
style.css
.twitter-link{
    color: #55acee; /*This is actual Twitter Blue according to their Branding & Asset Guidelines, if you wanna use that */
}

You could wrap it in a span tag. It's an inline element so it won't break the line. Then you could style it with a css selector that is specificly targeting the span element.

Such as. HTML:

<h1>follow me <span>AAA</span></h1>

CSS:

h1 span {
color: firebrick;
}
