How do I set the color of the text of a label? <pre class="prettyprint"><code>myLabel.setText("Text Color: Red"); myLabel.??? </code></pre> Can I have two seperate colors in one label? For example here: The <code>"Text Color:"</code> to be black and the <code>"Red"</code> to be red.

<h3>For single color foreground color</h3> <pre class="prettyprint"><code>label.setForeground(Color.RED) </code></pre> <h3>For multiple foreground colors in the same label:</h3> (I would probably put two labels next to each other using a <code>GridLayout</code> or something, but here goes...) You could use html in your label text as follows: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>frame.add(new JLabel("<html>Text color: red</html>")); </code></pre> which produces: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/tsf26.png" alt="enter image description here">

You can set the color of a JLabel by altering the foreground category: <pre class="prettyprint"><code>JLabel title = new JLabel("I love stackoverflow!", JLabel.CENTER); title.setForeground(Color.white); </code></pre> As far as I know, the simplest way to create the two-color label you want is to simply make two labels, and make sure they get placed next to each other in the proper order.

For single color foreground color

label.setForeground(Color.RED)

For multiple foreground colors in the same label:

(I would probably put two labels next to each other using a GridLayout or something, but here goes...)

You could use html in your label text as follows:

frame.add(new JLabel("<html>Text color: <font color='red'>red</font></html>"));

which produces:

You can set the color of a JLabel by altering the foreground category:

JLabel title = new JLabel("I love stackoverflow!", JLabel.CENTER);  title.setForeground(Color.white);
