Solution 1

To set the color for all items use SetTextColor and SetBkColor [EDIT], and SetTextBkColor[/EDIT].

If you want to set the colour for individual items, you have to handle the NM_CUSTOMDRAW notification: Neat Stuff to Do in List Controls Using Custom Draw[^]

Sorry, I forgot that there is the function SetTextBkColor() which sets the colour for used items while SetBkColor() is only for unused items.
I will update my answer.
