Solution 1

Of course, you can always customize the text in place.

First, select the whole line by clicking on the left margin:

1

Then, choose the color:

2

Now all the text is red! We need to change the text only back to black. Select the text from left to right, but move back a bit to exclude the "newline" character (?). Notice the difference with the one above:

3

Now choose "Automatic":

4

We're done!

Solution 2

Here are 2 versions, since not sure what you asking for.

Just select the text in heading and choose the color.

    Is it possible to have two headings at the same level, with two different styled numbering?

    For instance;

    1.2 heading 1 (1.2 in black)
    1.3 heading 2 (1.3 in red)
    1.4 heading 1 (1.4 in black)

      What do you mean at same level?

      well, a heading with numbering like "1. Introduction" is level 1. A heading with numbering like "1.1. Theory" is level 2. So two headings at the same level operates within the same place value

    You can chose any color you like for each heading.

    i figured it out. i just, somehow, messed up my numbering fonts. i reset everything and it worked. my question is still on how to get black text and different colored numbering tho.

    I am confused, Do you want the heading number to be in different color than the heading text ?

    Yeah, i think i might have to go with the manual method, even though i have quite a lot of text.

    Sure you can. See my edit of your post.

    @Rune I rejected the edit (but the image can still be found here. I basically just missed that part, but still Word doesn't even have an odd/even styling rule, so I'm afraid that's it.

    i dont want an odd/even styling rule. i want two different fonts. one with black numbering and one with red numbering at the same numbering level.

    @Rune The conclusion is that, if you want different number style in the same list, you have to do it manually one by one.

    @Rune you don't need to go manually. You should never use direct styling other than for bold, italic,... Those kind of approach don't work on big documents. I posted an answer that explain how to do it.
