It depends on the context.

NO! I can see no reason why you might even think that I thought
this.

Using inline styles, although, a possibly classed, stylesheet would be
better.  Also assuming that the background colour is well defined.

so, how you <em style="font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; color:
green">suppose</em> to change color inline? (word "suppose" in this
sentence?)

As part of a page where you generally didn't want font changes, you
would certainly override them in the style sheet, not inline.  For a
consistent house style, this would probably reduce to:

so, how you <em>suppose</em> to change color inline? (word "suppose" in
this sentence?)

H2 tags start H2 elements; all browsers should agree on that.  If you
have problems with proper structural markup, it probably means that
you want pixel perfect control but are not willing to fully specify
the style sheet; fully specify it if you don't like the browser's
default.  However the HTML philosophy is that the user controls the
detailed appearance and the author provides them with the information
about the document structure to allow them to do that - this results
in a consistent presentation that makes it easier for the user to
find things.
