On my blog i want to display question in red in color and Answer in Blue in Color. In question and answer i am using MathJAx to render MathML. I am controller the coloring of MathJax using CSS Like this

    h3, h2, h4, h5
    {
        text-align: left;
        font-weight: bold;
        font-family: Verdana;
    }
    .question
    {
        text-align: left;
        color: Red;

    }
    .centerit
    {
        color: Blue;
        text-align: center;
    }

that work perfectly fine in IE but in FireFox, it always display the MathJax in Black color? Any work around to resolve this issue. I am using MathJax 2.

Thankx

MathJax supports the \color macro, but it works differently from LaTeX. In LaTeX, \color works like plain TeX commands such as \bf, but MathJax takes it as a LaTeX command like \textbf.

\[ \color{red} The whole sentence is red in LaTeX,
   but only the initial T is colored in MathJax.  \]
