Hi Sharavani,

In case you want to apply some styles on standard salesforce layouts it is not easy and strongly NOT recommended.

You can use VF page to apply any css-styles you want.
Also you can use formula field to display something clickable or even display an image (but html markup is not allowed in formulas)

Hi shravani,

I guess you want something like this. 
Visualforce Page::

<apex:page Controller="MyCustomLookupController">
<style>
    .account{
        font-weight: bold;
    }
   a{
       color: #F80C0C;
    }

</style>
  <apex:form >
  <div class="account">
     <apex:outputField styleClass="account" id="Account" value="{!contact.AccountId}"/>
  </div>
  </apex:form>
</apex:page>

Apex Class::

public with sharing class MyCustomLookupController {

  public Contact contact {get;set;}

  public MyCustomLookupController() {
    contact = [Select AccountId, Name from Contact Limit 1];
  }

}


You can change the outputfield to the field you have.. suppose that link doesnt work than you can replace with the below one inside the <  /> ::

<a href="#"> {!salesforce field}</a>

Output
Hope this will help you.

Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek i want the above one in a formula field.

Hi shravani,

You can refer your formula field inside the <div> element in the VF Page.

<div>
<formula field>
</div>
However,you cant display in Standard Page. For more specific way or I can say other option, yo can also use Image inside the Formula Field. 
IMAGE("/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=01570000000Q6Ep", "Red")

Hope this will resolve your Issue.

Thanks,
Abhishek
