Pages v8.0 does not of its own accord, support find/replace of text color or fonts within a document. This can be achieved using the following simple AppleScript with the target document already opened in Pages. You would copy/paste the following AppleScript into Script Editor (Dock : Launchpad : Other : Script Editor), click compile, and then run:
set wordList to {"Buyer"} -- can be more than one word to receive the same color and font
set theFont to "Bodoni-BookItalic" -- postscript font name from Font Book
set theColor to (choose color default color {0, 0, 0})

set color of (words where it is aword) to theColor
set font of (words where it is aword) to theFont
end repeat
end tell
end tell
