        Not any I’m aware of.

        Anyway, SHR currently only supports “direct” styling (for
        instance, it will colorize <i style="color: #080" />, but /not/
        <i class="binomen" />, – even when the applicable CSS has
        ‘.binomen { color: #080; }’), so SHR support for colors is to be
        taken with a grain of salt.

        (And there’s a similar issue with multicolumn layouts, BTW.)

        Note that even when the support for colors proper is disabled,
        SHR will still use the shr-link, bold and italic faces for the
        contents of the respective HTML elements, as defined by the
        hard-coded mapping (yes, no CSS support there yet, either.)

        IMO, this gives just that little color on the words which is
        reasonable.
