Set the color *after* you put the text in the field. I do this for log
output in the same manner as you're attempting and it works well for
me in scrolling fields.

put "normal text" & cr after field "xyz"
put "problem text" & cr after field "xyz"
set the foreColor of line -1 of field "xyz" to "red"
