\stopMPenvironment

This gives you only bold label.

Tex colors do not work inside textext. Try

label(textext("\startcolor[red] red \stopcolor"), origin) ;

One way to get around this is to use \sometxt.

label(\sometxt{\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}},(5cm,0)) ;

But then you have to be careful about the differences between \sometxt in 
MKII and MKIV (which I need to  summarize on the wiki).
