[SOLVED] Post Title Colour

I've been through the search and although there are plenty of options for altering the colour globally I can't find anything that allows me to change the title of a specific post.
I have an important announcement to make and I'd like the title in red so it doesn't get missed.
I don't want all of the posts to have their titles in red. Just this one.
I'd like it changed on the main page and the individual post's page.

I've tried putting the color command html (?) in the title box and it changes the colour OK but also adds in the original grey version and some extra characters which is messy and I don't understand why it does it.
eg. <span style="color: #ff0000;">blah blah blah</span>
That didn't work.

I've also seen the CSS inserts thing but I have no idea what they mean nor how to execute their intent. I don't know anything about the CSS concept structure.
I used to be a machine code programmer not a high level wizard.

Any clues ?
It's driving me bonkers.
