I'm not sure about color support without HTML or add-ons, but Obsidian is a good markdown editor with a lot of functionality and extensibility.
It's not open source but it runs on everything.

Logseq is like obsidian but open source/libre. Totally recommended
I'm getting more into using logseq. I like it fairly well. It's not quite comfortable on mobile though so I'm sticking to obsidian there for the time being.
Logseq is a good alternative, if you like everything being a bulletpoint :/.
It doesn't fit my note taking workflow and learning or translate to a new way of note taking style will take to much time/effort...
Guess I'm still stuck with Obsidian.

There is no difference to Google when it comes to privacy. But I hope that was sarcasm, which seems so.
For online collaboration use cryptpad. It is end-to-end encrypted and there are multiple instances where your files will be stored encrypted on their servers. You do not have to create an account and can share just using a link. For local editing I would say LibreOffice is the best.
As you are lazy, creating an account for cryptpad (for example at the instance adminforge.de) you can pretty much use it exactly like Google Docs. Just that it is private :) And adminforge.de is quite big so it should not just βlooseβ your files like Google. Of course keeping it local is better as there is the very very small probability that your chosen instance goes offline/closes.
Obsidian might work for you
CryptPad is my go to, there's many different instances where you can make an account. Fully encrypted and allows for doc sharing plus working with others on the doc at the same time. Offline can be accomplished by ensuring you downloaded the file, and then uploading the updated doc once back online. It's the bee's knee's! https://cryptpad.fr/
Do you host anything yourself at all? If so, thereβs a few self hosted options as an alternative to google

No, I don't host
Only Office maybe?
