I don't know much about expression formatting. While this appears to work in a few simple tests, I do not know how robust it is: MakeBoxes[a, StandardForm] = StyleBox["a", FontColor -> Red] After this line has been evaluated, the symbol 'a' will be printed in red (when output is set to StandardForm). The formatting rule can be removed with MakeBoxes[a, StandardForm] =. Szabolcs
