Hi Gouri,

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, the only way I know to
change the font color is to use the SelectionFont Property on the
richtextbox.
richTextBox1.SelectionFont = new Font("Courier New", 10,
FontStyle.Bold);
richTextBox1.SelectAll();
richTextBox1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;

When you change Font associated with the richtext box, this the
selectfont is reset/changed;
richTextBox1.Font = new Font("Arial", 10, FontStyle.Regular);

If all you want to do is change al the text to red then the above will
work fine, however if you need to keep multiple different colrs then
you need to parse the text and reset the selectfont, using the
SelectionStart and SelectionLength properties on the richtext box,
which is obviously a bit more painful.
