Well 'plain' text is just that - it doesn't know anything about colors, fonts etc.

So, if you're loading plain text into an RTB, there's no way to change colors before it's loaded though you can, of course, change them subsequently.

The only way you can set colors beforehand is to create an RTF document in an application such as MS Word or WordPad and then load that into the RTB.
