Go to Preferences > Display Colors and set the colors there. This is for display only.

If you want to print these colors, that's done through the Print Dialog window. You might have to set everything else to black.

I did not know that was even possible. BTW, It would sure be nice if Finale had a real text editor that could do colors and more.

File menu > Print…

The option to print the Display Colors is located at the bottom of the Print dialog.
