In your code:

   gtk_widget_set_name (GTK_WIDGET(text), "MyTextWidget");

In ~/.gtkrc or an explicitly loaded GTK RC file:

   style "red_on_cyan_text" {
      font = "some-font-spec"
      text[NORMAL] = { 1.0, 0, 0 }
      base[NORMAL] = { 0, 1.0, 1.0 }
   }
 
   widget "*MyTextWidget" style "red_on_cyan_text"   

I *think* I got that right :) Read the docs on RC files at www.gtk.org
for more details.
