    well ya don't directly. You could use a font tag to wrap around it though that's deprecated. The "correct" way would be to wrap the text in a tag (options are P or DIV, span if its displayed inline) and assign a CSS class with a rule.
    CSS style goes into the head part of the page.
    
<html><head>
<style>
.redtext  { color: maroon ; }
</style>
</head>
<body>

<?php
echo "<p class='redtext'>END OF CATS LOST RECORDS </p>";
?>

</body>
</html>
    PHP:
    Now when you want anything to have redtext just assign it a class: redtext;.
