I'm confused, do you want the text to be:

more than one color,
the text to be covered in a yellow like color as if highlighted,
or just be a different color other than black

sorry i didn't see the html code part, so u want it to be similar to JLabel where u can put html code in there? or just to do some syntax hightlighting?

lol, just added two more cases to the previous

syntax highlighting. I haven't found to much online about creating one in java.

I think you must use a simple parser...
another (but heavy) solution is the use of regular expressions
