OmniFocus seems to use three different font colors/styles:

• black/regular
• light grey/regular
• violet/italic

What is the meaning of these colors and styles?

• violet = a next action (you can do this now, and it is the topmost action in its project).
• black = an available action (you can do this now, but it is not a next action in its project
• italic gray = not available action (you can not do this now, due to start date in the future, context set to not allow actions, or dependent on an unaccomplished prior action within a sequential project)

And be careful.
I tried to use the Font selection to change the color for part of the text for one action. OF treated that as a change to my Preferences.

Rich text support isn't included yet, so you can only format whole items. Also, OF currently doesn't have a notation of separate styles for separate items. So if you format one Next Action, you format them all.
