The text editor already supports colors very easily.
See this simple example:
http://seriss.com/people/erco/fltk/#Fl_Text_DisplayStyle
You can specify an optional 'style buffer' to the Fl_Text_*
widget which parallels the 'text buffer'.
Each byte in the 'style buffer' is an index into a 'style array'
that defines the color, font face, and font size of each corresponding
character in the 'text buffer'.
FLTK's own code editor (within fluid) makes use of this feature
to enable syntax highlighting of the C++ code, so that code is
syntax-colored as you type.
