Question

Is it somehow possible, via CSS, to select labels which contains *: at the end?

Explained more deeply, as requested:

Sorry, thought it was clear enough. I have a html-label-element … which can contain *: at the end, for example: This is required*:. I would like to color those red.

Currently is not possible match an element through the content via CSS only.

I suppose you need to style labels associated to required input fields (those who ends with a *) . if you’re in control of markup you could simply add a class .required to the labels or, if you’re using html5 required attribute you could style them in this way:

html

<input type="text" id="firstname" ... required>
<label for="firstname">First name <sup>*</sup></label>

css

[required] + label { color: red; }
