How do i apply different colors to a new message or reply?

Use the button with the big "A" on it and the black color bar beneath it. It toggles open a color picker box. see the pic below.

so what is all that crap at the end

It's html formatting.

Type what you want, then, go back and highlight it, choose the color then. Don't choose the color first. First type your whole message, then go back through it, and highlight the portions you want to change the color and change them.
