I’m trying to show that colors change within a round. Is there an easy way to show this? I’m used to typing my patterns where I can bold the second color. If there isn’t a quick way on Ribblr, any suggestions on how to type it in an easy way?

you can put at the beginning of the pattern, “brown stitches are in [brackets]” and you put all the brown stitches in brackets

You can also write with Color A or Color B and itll show up as that color in the pattern!

I usually do color A or color B or …
So row 12 would be
12. color A 11 sc, color B 8 sc, color C 7 sc, color B 8 sc, color C 14 sc (48)
That gives us crafters the ability to change colors from light brown to pink etc…
Here are pictures that show what I mean.
You also have to add the colors in materials, like this

I add it in the instructions (cc to color X) but if there’s a lot of color changes I add a color graph as a picture. I make mine in Google Sheet.

Do you think you use a color graph when working in the round? I’ve used them for rows when its a square. But haven’t seen any for rounds.
I guess I could do it row by row?

You can bold it by doing ^^text you want to be bold^^ but with asterisks instead of arrows.

I think you’ve received some very nice suggestions already, but I just want to add my own! 
What I do is I just give each color a letter and then add the letter in front of the stitch.
Taken directly from my Nightflame pattern:
"INSTRUCTIONS FOR COLOR CODES
When there is an “o” in front of the stitch name, you should use orange yarn. When there is an “y”, you should use yellow yarn. When there is a “b”, you should use black yarn.
Examples:
osc = single crochet in orange
ydec = decrease with yellow yarn
b2sc = 2 single crochet in black"
And then in the actual rounds, it says:
“R5: (osc, y2sc) x 5 [15]”
For example, for your situation I would do something like:
“When there is a “w” in front of the stitch, you should use white yarn. When there is a “b”, you should use brown yarn.”
And then in the actual rounds:
“R12: b11sc, w8sc, b7sc, w8sc, b14sc [48]”
Just another suggestion so you can pick the one you prefer

This is exactly what Ribblr is for!
Remember, not everyone want to use the same colors so adding your colors in the materials section not only applies it (automatically) across a pattern but also lets other crafters pick their own colors to personalize the pattern.
For charts specifically, we have an interactive chart builder and viewer which makes it super easy to build and follow charts quickly.
