Can this beautifulsoup script be simplified with Regex?

I wrote some beautifulsoup scripts, and one part seems really redundant, I am thinking if it can be simplified with Regex.

All posts from this forum are marked with different colors, what I did is to search each color with one line. For six colors I did six lines with only one words difference.

red = soup.find_all('a', style="font-weight: bold;color: red")
blue = soup.find_all('a', style="font-weight: bold;color: blue")
green = soup.find_all('a', style="font-weight: bold;color: green")
purple = soup.find_all('a', style="font-weight: bold;color: purple")
orange = soup.find_all('a', style="font-weight: bold;color: orange")
lime = soup.find_all('a', style="color: green")

I am not sure if it is possible to be simplified. Maybe something like:

re.compile("(color: red|blue|green|purple|orange)", re.(whatever the letter is))

if it’s not regex, or could it be something else?

This is partial DOM:

Answer

You can pass a attribute list to css select with ends with operator

[style$='color: red'],[style$='color: green'],[style$='color: blue'],[style$='color: purple'],[style$='color: orange']

So,

items = [item for item in soup.select("[style$='color: red'],[style$='color: green'],[style$='color: blue'],[style$='color: purple'],[style$='color: orange']")
