Q&A How can I make a character's emotions bolder and more obvious without overemphasizing?

It's not clear what you are looking for, especially since the basic options are obvious: Italics: No, we are looking for a blue car. Bold: All purchases are final. No warranty is implied. Caps:...

It's not clear what you are looking for, especially since the basic options are obvious:<ol>

<li>Italics: No, we are looking for a <i>blue</i> car.

<li>Bold: All purchases are final.  <b>No warranty is implied</b>.

<li>Caps: PUT THE GUN DOWN NOW!

</ol>

Of course you can use combinations of the above to suite the situation.  With three orthogonal binary options, there are a total of 2<sup>3</sup> = 8 possibilities (including no emphasis at all).  Any of them could be appropriate in a particular context or writing convention.
