You can do this very easily by utilising the "foreground", "foreground-
gdk", "background" and "background-gdk" attributes of the
GtkCellRendererText.

Note: the "-gdk" attributes use a GdkColor and the others should be ok
with just "blue" I would have thought.  For a list of available colours,
you will need to look up what Pango supports.
