I'm not clear on whether you want to change the color of a QLabel owned buy a QTabWidget, or you want to change the label (actually QTab/QTabBar) of a QTabWidget (the part that makes it look like a file folder). For the QLabel: it's a QWidget descendant, so it has all of the QWidget methods for setting colors (see Qt QWidget docs - foreground, background, etc). You can also overload the paint method in a subclass. To change the color of a single tab in a QTabBar, it looks like you'd have to subclass QTabBar and overload the paint() method so it knows what color each tab should be (paint() gets the index number of the tab it's painting). Also look at the QTabWidget docs for info about setting a new QTabBar.
