Hello!
I dont know much about CSS, but in order to get the same colours all
the time, I try
message_ok { color: #ff0000; }
message_fail { color: #008000; }
Then
Success!
Something went wrong...
But, why does this not work?

There is the tiniest possible reason, a missing stop sign. Try
..message_ok { color: #ff0000;} The stop is the class indicator in
CSS. The id indicator is #

Oops and there's more, I did not read on... You can't have

If you want all text in one element to be as one color and
another another color just class the element and set the style.
For example,
in your html
and
..message_ok {color: #ff0000; background: #fff;}
..message_fail {color: #008000; background: #fff;}

As dorayme says,

That last should surely be
Why are you using the deprecated font element?
or even
Success!
I would think red for the fail and green for success though.

Why?
Apart from font being deprecated that is.

Why not? As far as I can see it's valid and OK and works (although using
at all is deprecated).

You can have it if you close it right. I was too impatient with
the whole thing quoted... at least you mentioned the lack of a
proper closing, I was referring to the whole thing and just
wanted to give a better alternative to OP.
How am I going? I just find that I can get out of most things if
I keep talking... real fast...

I used to be an electrician. Typically, a motor starter or motor control
switching center would have running lights on each, green for when the
device was operating and red for when it was off to the remote. Using
impeccable logic, this one corporation reversed that procedure because, in
their engineers' opinion, a running motor was dangerous while a stopped
motor was safe to inspect/work-on/etc. Whether there is any validity to
that or not, can you imagine the confusion it caused for maintenance people
and users, not to mention the actual real-life danger?
I only brought this up because somehow it reminds me of Microsoft.

It is valid if the element is closed right, I was too anxious to
show OP a better way and did not stop to consider my words
carefully enough. I got a temporary fright when I saw my first
correct reply to op. Correctness frightens me and unbalances my
mind.

Aside from the comments on how to do that properly I have to ask:
Why red for an "ok" condition and green for a "fail" condition? Seems
counter-intuitive to me.

Well for one thing, the end font tags should be closed: ""
