Summary:
Why to use OpenType stylistic sets

Some OpenType fonts with numerous alternate characters organize these alternates into stylistic sets. This eliminates the time-consuming task of selecting each alternate character individually to find which ones look best with which others.Stylistic sets are designed to allow you to apply various effects to words: alternate glyphs to give words more animation or a less formal appearance, and to lend more visual interest to text. Stylistic Sets allow you to transform a complete body of text with predefined alternate groupings.

Solution:
How to apply
Stylistic sets can be applied through character style sheets, locally through the Measurements palette, and inserted using the Glyphs palette. Stylistic sets allow a user to apply OpenType transformations on text in mixed colors,opacity and shades.
