    Here is a header ...

    <h2>Text</h2>

    how do I have it not bold?

    the default is bold

    Here is a colored header ...

    <h2 style="color: #818285;">Text</h2>

    how do I have that one bold?

    If it's not to be bold, it is probably not a "header". Use something else, maybe: <p>This is not bold text.</p>

    The default _is_ bold, so let it be. I think you need to rethink what
    "headers" really are.

    the default is bold

    By adding the required style as CSS:

    font-weight: normal

    Here is a colored header ...

    <h2 style="color: #818285;">Text</h2>

    I'm curious - you managed to learn how to add a style inline but you
    don't know about font attributes? Maybe you should at least read some documentation about HTML and CSS at all.

    CSS is your friend.

    (we have covered this before).

    All HTML tags have a default CSS associated with them. The h# tags have
    a default style of bold. As with anything else in HTML, you can use CSS
    to change these defaults.

    It’s called “heading”.

    how do I have it not bold?

    By using CSS:

    <style>
    h2 { font-weight: normal }
    </style>

    This makes all h2 elements not bold.

    Here is a colored header ...

    <h2 style="color: #818285;">Text</h2>

    how do I have that one bold?

    If you use the CSS code I suggested, you need to override it. You can
    use various selectors to select one specific h2 element, but if you are
    using inline CSS anyway (not recommended in general), you might as well
    use it for this:

    <h2 style="color: #818285; font-weight: bold;">Text</h2>

    If that was the first thing that came to your mind, I think you need to
    step back from the CSS and instead concentrate on how to plan a document
    and its parts.

    [Excerpt:]

    <h1>Title of my Book</h1>
    <h2>Chapter One</h2>
    <p>The opening paragraph starts us here. Several sentences.</p>
    <p>A second paragraph, probably same quantity of text.</p>
    <p>Maybe even a third...</p>

    <h2>Chapter Two</h2>
    <p>More paragraphs...</p>
    ...

    You don't choose the HTML element for its size, but for its job. Once you
    have the above in control, visit here: https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

    C'mon ...

    It's clear from the question above that you haven't read even a beginner's book on CSS (assuming you're genuine, which I can't). That's just wasting everyone's time.

    If I'm wrong and you are genuine, and books (like the ones I posted for you in a previous thread) aren't your thing, then try searching YouTube for "CSS beginner tutorial".

    But if books really aren't your thing, this likely isn't the field for you.

    I'm more of a systems person than a programmer

    USENET groups are such a nice source ...

    I'll try to do a WWW search first

    why read a book when you have access to "the information superhighway" ?

    w3schools is pretty good

    I have been hacking at HTML since the mid 90's

    back then w3c.org was a better school source than w3.org

    w3.org had a lot of "Pop ups" when I was there, this is called w3schools
    now and is good

    I think w3c.org doesn't have school any more

    CSS is a rather new thing for me

    Because you've been actively avoiding it. CSS2 has been around since
    1998.

    <https://www.mygreatlearning.com/blog/css-tutorial/>

    that' not bad, though I prefer practical tutorials of describe a problem
    and show how to solve it and what the solution means.
