Because you are dealing with an inline element... the best solution is to create a class .green and class .yellow in your css and give them the appropriate hex color codes. Then use a span tag to wrap around the text you want to be colored.

Here is an example

<h1><span class="green">Tito</span> <span class="yellow">Ngoma</span></h1>

If you set the color of your h1 to be yellow or green then you only need to use one of the span tags.
