On Java the message is a text component in SNBT, so you can add color and formatting (e.g. {text:"Welcome!",color:gold}); on Bedrock the /title command takes plain text, or use /titleraw @a title {"rawtext":[{"text":"Welcome!"}]} for styled JSON. The title stays until it fades out or a new title replaces it.
