Creating colored text in Java

This is the code I have so far:

public class Hello extends GraphicsProgram {

public void run(){
  GLabel helloLabel = new GLabel("Programming is fun!");
  add(helloLabel, 100, 100);

}

How can I get "Programming is fun!" to appear in different colors and/or fonts?

If you are trying to run things on the command line, this'll help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5762491/how-to-print-color-in-console-using-system-out-println/5762502#5762502

If you are trying to do things in JavaFX, the GUI, I'd recommend taking the Build a JavaFX application course.

Let me know if that helps!
