The only way to use colors seems to use Gtk::Text instead of Gtk::Entry:

   In order to insert text at the current insertion point of a Text
   widget, the function insert() is used, which also allows us to specify
   background and foreground colors and a font for the text.

     $text->insert( $font, $foreground, $background, $string );

HTH,
