2That's because `Blue.ToString()` returns the text `"Blue"` and not actually the blue color. See if there isn't a `Label.ForeColor` member or similar – Nolonar Jun 11 '13 at 20:40

As far as I'm aware, a Windows Forms Label can only use a single color for the whole of its text. If you want multi-colored text, you'll either need to use multiple labels or use RichTextBox... or perform the painting yourself, of course.

You have to change the colour of the label, not the string.
So you'd have a label on your form, say LabelTest, then in your code would look like this:
string state = "Some text for our label";
LabelTest.Text = state;
LabelTest.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;
As has been mentioned in other answers, to use multiple colours, you'd need multiple labels, each with their text and colour set separately.

Label cannot contain items of more than one color. Use more labels or some other kind of control. But from the code you pasted I recommend to go through some .NET tutorial. You probably miss the basic concepts.
