You'll have to set the TabControls DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed and
draw the text in the TabControls DrawItem procedure.
VB.Net example:
Private Sub TabControl1_DrawItem(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs) _
Handles TabControl1.DrawItem
Dim r As RectangleF = RectangleF.op_Implicit(e.Bounds)
Dim ItemBrush As New SolidBrush(TabControl1.BackColor)
Dim sf As New StringFormat
sf.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center
sf.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center
If CBool(e.State And DrawItemState.Selected) Then
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(ItemBrush, e.Bounds)
e.Graphics.DrawString(TabControl1.TabPages(e.Index ).Text, _
e.Font, Brushes.Red, r,
sf)
Else
e.Graphics.DrawString(TabControl1.TabPages(e.Index ).Text, _
e.Font,
Brushes.Blue, r, sf)
End If
End Sub

How do I set the font color of the text on the actual tab
of a tab page? I have tried changing the forecolor. That
only changes the color for the text inside the tab, it
doesn't change the color of the text displayed on the
actual tab. I want to change the color of TabPage1.text,
not the other controls on the tab page
