Solution 1

Text files by their nature are just text. Formatting and colours are part of a file format designed for rich documents.

So you can't have coloured lines in a text file.

Amazing question! Files have no colors, lines, nothing. They just consist of bytes. Well, a text file can be served as a media for some graphical formats (XML-based, for example), but the question is certainly not related to this topic.

Makes no sense at all. You next question is also irrelevant. Reading/writing and parsing/generation of graphics are unrelated things. Also, you ask about writing but show the use of StreamReader. What's wrong with you?
