Well, (raw) Markdown is about content, not form. I don't have any example on the top of my head when color is part of content, but if that's a common use case of yours, text processors are probably a better tool than Markdown.

Markdown expects to be written to 80 columns or less. It doesn't have to be but that it what's expected. Which makes it very much about form as you have to manually "form"at it.
