Recipe page solution

My main question concerns the items on the lists for this project. Both the bullets in unordered lists and the numbers in ordered lists had specific colors, so to achieve this style I applied the color property to the <li> of the lists. And I placed the <li> texts inside <p> and changed the color of these texts to match the design. I made each of these <p> have an inline display and this made it impossible for me to add that small design spacing that exists between the text and the list marker.

I want to know if there is a better way to style the markers without complicating the text styling too much and in my case, if the way I did it was possible to add spacing without breaking the entire layout?
