So long as you're talking about using Palm OS 3.5 APIs and drawing text of
a single color, whether that be black or red or whatever, it is easy.
(There isn't support for multi-color fonts, but any font can draw in any
color.)
Just call WinSetTextColor, giving the index in the palette of black or red
or whatever, and then WinDrawChars.
You can take a look at how the ColorDeal sample does it... see the sample
code area on http://www.palm.com/devzone/ (using the scrolling list on the
left is the fastest way to get there.)
