There’s an easier way to do all of that since you’re already using TextMeshPro. First, TMP text controls have a maxVisibleCharacters field that you can use. My dummy script will use:

IEnumerator Type(string content, float speed)
{
    this.textMeshPro.maxVisibleCharacters = 0;
    this.textMeshPro.text = content;

    var parsedContent = this.textMeshPro.GetParsedText();
    var yieldInstruction = new WaitForSeconds(speed);

    while (this.textMeshPro.maxVisibleCharacters < parsedContent.Length)
    {
        yield return yieldInstruction;
        this.textMeshPro.maxVisibleCharacters++;
    }
}

For colored content, check out the Rich Text documentation for TMP. With that, we can do something like:

var content = $"<color=red>Boss:</color> You can even <size=15>change the size</size>";

this.StopAllCoroutines();
this.StartCoroutine(this.Type(content, this.typingSpeed));

to get the following:
