You mean marking text and setting it's color?

I don't think that's possible directly.

As far as I know, anything that has to do with formating text must be done using html tags.

jTextArea1.setText("jTextArea1");
jTextArea1.setBounds(new Rectangle(40, 40, 225, 60));
jTextArea1.setForeground(Color.red);


This will change the textcolor to red.

U can customize it also setting the document properties.
