I need to make floating colored and bold text in Minecraft, but the CustomName tag doesn't have a color or bold tag (that I know of). I need a 100% sure answer.

You can use a named invisible WitherSkull.
summon WitherSkull ~ ~ ~ {
CustomName:"Whatever",
CustomNameVisible:true,
Direction:[]
}
(This is from memory, but I think that's it)
It can't be done in vanilla survival(without commands/external tool/switching version) in my knowledge. However, it is possible with /setblock command due to the current bug in the game which prevents block update(MC-50166).
First, pillar up some blocks with block entity (such as furnaces, dispensers, command blocks, etc.) and attach ladders on them.
Second, stand on top of the pillar and run this command repeatedly until you get to the ground: /setblock ~ ~-1 ~ air. Ignore the error message.
Then you will have truly floating ladders right in front you! Congrats!

You can't put JSON text formatting in entity names (nor in things like item names/lore). Instead, you should use the section symbol, "§", and a formatting code. E.G: §c before the name for red, §l before the name for bold.
You can't paste or type § directly into chat, though. Instead, you'll need to use a server console (or RCON), or an external tool such as MCEdit or NBTExplorer.
