Simple create an attributed string with each string range colored as needed...

Your example code appends strings together and then creates an
attributed string with what looks to be the last color specified,
which is not what I think you want.

Why not use NSMutableAttributed string? You would then create an
NSAttributed string for each string with the color information for
that string. Once you have that attributed string append it to your
mutable attributed string.
