If you only want to change the Color-Settings for the selected Text you should use the Properties 'SelectionColor' for the ForeColor of the selcted Text and the 'SelectionBackColor' for the BackColor of the selected Text.
I don't know why these Properties are not directly accessible by the Property-Grid. But if you want to have it you could easily customize the RichtextBox to have this Behaviour.
