You can use below code. Here in this example I have used h1 tag and added an attribute data-title-text="Display Text" which will appear with different color text on h1 tag text element, which gives effect halfcolored text as shown in below example

body {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1 {
  color: #111;
  font-family: arial;
  position: relative;
  font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
  display: inline-block;
  font-size: 2.5em;
}

h1::after {
  content: attr(data-title-text);
  color: #e5554e;
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  clip: rect(0, 1000px, 30px, 0);
}

Display Text
