HTML & CSS Headings of Different colours

On my pages I want to be able to use headings of the same level but with different colours. I know that I can specify a colour (eg red)in my CSS file and then change the colour using inline styling wherever I want to use a different colour (eg green). But is there a better way?

Can I set things up in my CSS file so that in my HTML I can just use something like <h3_red> , <h3_green> , <h3_blue> etc to prevent all the inline styling?

Thanks

Robert

One way:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title>Color Headings</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1" />
<style>
h2{
  font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  font-size: large;
  font-weight: 500;
  width: 150px;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: lightgray;
  color: black;
}
.red{color:red;}
.green{color:green;}
,purple{color:purple;}
</style>
</head>
<h2>Color Headings</h2>
<br>
<h2 class="red">Next Section</h2>
<h2 class="purple">Next Section</h2>
<h2 class="green">Next Section</h2>
<body>
 

</body>
</html>

@RobertWA
Inside @OldMan s reply is a list of colors that have class attributes. Looking at the h2 tags, Oldman put 'class="color"' and then selected the class in the CSS with .color{ color: color;}
