Use RichTextBox. There you can set the color of the font.

Font font = new Font("Arial", 12.5f, FontStyle.Italic | FontStyle.Underline);
richTextBox.Select(start, length);
richTextBox.SelectionFont = font;
richTextBox.SelectionBackColor = Color.AliceBlue;
richTextBox.SelectionColor = Color.OrangeRed;
