Use "foreground " option for text widget with 'configure' method..

Using configure() method with '-foreground' option, you can set the text color for entire text box. I don't think that can be used to set color for each line of data in textbox.

This can be done. Try the following approach:

$tx->tag(qw/configure color1 -foreground red/);
$tx->tag(qw/configure color2 -foreground green/);
$tx->tag(qw/configure color3 -foreground blue/);
$tx->tag(qw/configure color4 -foreground black/);

$tx->insert('insert', "characters of line1\n", 'color1');
$tx->insert('insert',"characters of line2\n", 'color2');
$tx->insert('insert',"characters of line3\n", 'color3');
$tx->insert('insert',"characters of line4\n", 'color4');
