Every time I want a bold text, I want it colored blue. Currently, I am using:
\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{some bold and colored text}}
To save time, I can define a command to do both at once. How can I do it?

Simply
\newcommand\boldblue[1]{\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{#1}}}

Could you explain a little bit how
1and#1works there? Your solution worked for me, but my attept was\newcommand{\boldblue}{\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{}}and gave me a compile error and I'm trying to understand how that1and#1that solves the problem.– ChrisJun 21, 2021 at 0:03 -

1means that the macro\boldbluewill have one argument*. Later#1is a reference for the first argument of\boldblue. * by the way:[1]means that this is an optional argument of\newcommandJun 21, 2021 at 13:18
Another approach is to use font-switching commands within \DeclareTextFontCommand, here:
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\bblue}{\color{blue}\bfseries}
\newcommand\bluebf[1]{\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{#1}}}? This is \bluebf{blue bold text}
