/* CUSTOM TEXT HERE */ a[href="/wiki/User:USERNAME"], a[href="http://WIKINAME.wikia.com/wiki/User:USERNAME"], .bureaucrat { color: Purple !important; font-weight: bold !important; }
 * Note: the "/* CUSTOM TEXT HERE /*" is used as an identifier. You can have "admin colored names" or "(username) name color" or whatever you want.

Edit: Oh lol, did not read the question right :/

Put it in your wiki's Common.css.

That can be found by searching Special:Common.css on your wiki.

By the way, if you want the color of a username in chat to be different, put this in your wiki's Mediawiki:Chat.css:

/* CUSTOM TEXT HERE */ color: #Purple !important; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; }
 * 1) Rail li[data-user="USERAME"] .username {

You can of course do all sorts of fancy things, like add shadow, different fonts, glow, display different text while mousing over the username, etc.

Edit 2: By the way, "font-weight: bold" and "font-style: itali;" are both optional, but those are just what most wikis have as "standard" so to say.
