Thank you, I was aware of the titlesec package, but using mainly LyXHTML 
I was looking into something less specific to output method. In the Font 
block however, the Size parameter does affect output, at least in the 
LyXHTML case.

Why this inconsistency? Should I ask lyx-devel about possibly 
implementing color from layout (titlesec for Latex and CSS for LyXHTML)?
