Nicolas, if only you hadn’t let go of the sorcerer’s stone… that stone allowed you to apply more than one character style to text. But without that, it’s impossible.

I’m kidding about the stone, of course. But the truth is that InDesign only lets you apply one character style. If you change the character style, it removes the old one and applies the new one.

The only solutions would be to make a third character style that applies both superscript and color… or you could first select the text, choose Break Link to Style from the character style panel menu (at which point the first style would be converted to local/manual override formatting), and then apply another one.

Everyone who wants to apply more than one character style to text should vote for it here:
