Use a RichTextBox for this:

public static class RichTextBoxExtensions
{
    public static void AppendText(this RichTextBox box, string text, Color color)
    {
       
box.SelectionStart = box.TextLength;
       
box.SelectionLength = 0;
       
box.SelectionColor = color;
       
box.AppendText(text);
       
box.SelectionColor = box.ForeColor;
    }
}
