How to add red text?

I have been struggling with formatting a new PDF.

It is simple text with some hyperlinks and is working fine.  

However, I need some of the text to be Red and I have not been able to figure out how to change the text color.

Can someone give me an example?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Rob ,
Please check this example :

- Ex: How to insert colorized text in the pdf :
	String file = "C:\\mypdf.pdf";	PDDocument 
pdfFile = PDDocument.load( file );	PDPage 
newPage = new PDPage();
	PDPageContentStream newPageData = new PDPageContentStream( pdfFile, 
newPage );  // This is our stream.

	newPageData.beginText();

	// Set the font settings :
		PDSimpleFont font = PDType1Font.TIMES_ITALIC;
		int fontSize = 18;		newPageData.setFont( 
 font, fontSize );
		newPageData.setNonStrokingColor( 49, 7, 241 );  // That's our target .. 
This changes the text color.

	newPageData.drawString( "This is blue text." );
