I replied:

I am wondering whether some existing software packages might be able to be used for the character inputting part using customized keyboard short cuts.

I realize that the cyan and red colours cannot be done at present, yet I
 have now thought of the alternative for now of being able to test what is in the text by using a special version 
of an open source font where there are distinctive glyphs one from the 
other for the two characters.
