New environment for colored and small font-size

Question

I am looking for a way to define a new environment in LaTeX that allows me to quickly write certain text passages in an altered way, such as smaller font-size and different color.

What i'm specifically looking for is to define an enrivonment such that i can, for example, write

\begin{smallredtext}
this is supposed to be red and font-size small.
\end{smallredtext}

I tried looking for existing solutions but couldn't find anything helpful so far. I'd really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance!

You just need color (or xcolor) package and

\newenvironment{smallredtext}{\small\color{red}}{\par}
