Not possible in one textbox but you could split the text into 2 and have a different colour in each.
Another way would be to split the 2 halves into 2 labels (each coloured different and abutting) and site the labels inside a container object, with its specialeffect prop. set to 1 - sunken, suitably sized (and coloured if necesaary) to look like one of your text boxes. I think this would work fine.

If you need to do some manipulation on the text this wouldn't be possible, but you could do that in an overlayed text box, which could be set to invisible afterwards. The valid clause of the text box could do the splitting etc. then disappear itself.
