For instance, if I have a label:

Blah blah bladity blah

I want the first 10% of this label, such that the font color should be red, and the rest should be green.

This perhaps means it would color the Bl and PART of the a. Basically pixel-wise font coloring instead of character-wise. Is this possible and how would is be accomplished?
