Unity UI Text with markup tags - “String too long for TextMeshGenerator”

I have a Text UI component in w$$anonymous$$ch I have 20 lines of 100 character long columns. T$$anonymous$$s works fine. But if I try to enclose each character inside <color> </color> tags to give them different colors, I get the following error messages:

 String too long for TextMeshGenerator. Cutting off characters.
 ArgumentException: Mesh can not have more than 65000 vertices

I don't understand why the tags count towards the character limit, or why they increase the number of vertices.

What would be the best way to solve t$$anonymous$$s? I am using Unity version 5.4.1f1.
