Assuming that you really want different colors and fonts within the same label, I would recommend using a RichTextBox instead of a Label, like also mentioned in Rotem's duplicate proposal. It's quite easy to use:

RichTextBox rtb1 = new RichTextBox();
rtb1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
rtb1.AppendText("Hello ");
rtb1.SelectionColor = Color.Green;
rtb1.AppendText("World");

Likewise with RichTextBox.SelectionFont...

Edit: for the sake of completeness - here are the changes to make it look/react like a label:

rtb1.BackColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.Control;
rtb1.BorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.BorderStyle.None;
rtb1.Enabled = false;
rtb1.Multiline = false;
rtb1.ReadOnly = true;
