try this:

yourTextEdit->append("<font color = red>XYZ</font>");

yourTextEdit->append("<font color = red>XYZ</font>");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

yourTextEdit->append("<font color = red>XYZ</font>");

That wont work for a QPlainTextEdit. But you can set a syntaxhighlighter. See the "Syntax Highlighter Example" in the docs or direct QSyntaxHighlighter. Or you can use the the basic options of the text cursor which should be the fastest appproach. See QTextCursor and QTextCharFormat.
