I think the enums are named differently, that's all.

TextBox.ForeColor = Color.Red

or
SelectName.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red

if you haven't Imported System.Drawing

Of course, using a CssClass will make your life easier in the long run.

Where did you put the code to color the text red?
Why are you using ForeColor? Try TextColor.

This works perfectly fine...

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
TextBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red
End Sub

What does your rendered html look like for the text box? Check the View Source on the browser. It should look something like this...

<input name="TextBox1" type="text" id="TextBox1" style="color:Red;" />

What is the CSS definition for txtContracNo ? That is a horrible way to use CSS, by the way -- of you want an individual style for an individual element, you should use #ID syntax on your style sheet.
