You need a Macro.

no matter what you select as a solution, be sure to change the blue to black BEFORE changing the red to blue, otherwise you will end up with black through the entire document (unless of course, that is the result you want)

This is a simple VBA code to convert all Red fonts in your file to Italic blue, you can change the color font depending on your need.

Sub ChangeColorWithReplace()   
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Font.Color = wdColorRed
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
    Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Italic = True
With Selection.Find
        .Text = ""
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = True
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchKashida = False
        .MatchDiacritics = False
        .MatchAlefHamza = False
