Styling Echoed Text

Hello,

I am using this code to call the product title to display above the product image in WooCommerce.

function sv_add_text_above_wc_shop_image() {
    echo  the_title();
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'sv_add_text_above_wc_shop_image', 9 );
 

How can I format the color, size, and alignment of the text?

I have tried many things including p, div, style, and font both inside the function and outside the function.
