read only color of textbox

I have a form where I want to flag a textbox visually. This is fine when the
user clicks edit, but if a user is browsing through some records and I have
the fields set to readonly, I would like to change the color of the text box
to get the attention of the user and change the color of the control. The
problem is when the control is read only the fore color doesn't change when
you change the fore color. The background color does.

Is there a way to change the fore color when the textbox is read only?
