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;    }}
```
