How can I choose new color and write with it despite the color of the current text (permanent pen)?

Hello,

This topic is very close to my question but I still couldn't understand... I can't find this "Mail Tweak" add on, so is there any other option I can solve my problem?

Permanent pen A permanent color and style for adding comments in replies. Press the specified key or choose Format – Permanent Pen to enable or disable the pen. Look for an indicator in the formatting toolbar to show that the pen is enabled. The indicator is a colored line beside the existing color controls. In Mail Tweak Options, specify the key, font face, size, color and style for your permanent pen.

My problem is that I want to use for example RED color in a BLACK text and when I switch/click with the mouse on a place that the text is black I want to keep the RED color.

Thank you, Viktor
