Css text color

[illusionbuster]

I am trying to use Css to change text color (not using it for headers)and then change it back to previous color but in using:
.navy {color:#000080;}
.black {color:#00000;}
etc
HTML= <div class="navy"> etc

what happens is in HTML the color is changed but it does so on a new line and I want it on the same line. Is there another way of doing this?

Use a span instead of a div.
