When I started this thread, I didn't even conceive that one would want to apply style to individual pieces of an equation. Someone gave the example of applying a color to e.g. a square root sign, to highlight it; I don't believe much in the pedagogic value of this kind of tricks --- that sounds like a toy to me --- but at this point I didn't want to argue further, as that is a matter of taste.
Note that I've seen at least one PhD dissertation that made good use of color to highlight which terms of a 2-page-long equation canceled each other to produce the final (much shorter; iirc it was 0) result.
Of course that was in the PDF version; the print version had to be black-and-white, and was a lot harder to follow.
